Saying Sorry

The wind blows
and where it goes
-nobody knows

it just flows away
into the breaking horizon

as the sun rises up
and the brilliant shimmer of day
glitters across the calm water bay.

The birds sing
as the breeze dances on their wing
and maybe this time
the preying jester will fool his king

Into thinking
that on this first day of Spring
nothing will come of the man
who refuses to say sorry
that his guilt will not haunt him

That he will not have to
go out on a limb
for anyone

And when he realizes he is wrong
He will have claimed
“I knew it all along”
Though in his heart
he is deeply shamed

because it is so hard to say sorry
when, afterwords, all he can do
is worry
that sorry will not mean Enough.

 Each  and every  day we grow older Our wrinkles grow deeper Our hair thins greys and falls out Each  and every  day We grow My heart aches ...
