(This is a very rough draft, comments and suggestions are very welcome)

Hindsight is a man’s worse friend 

What should have been but never did

The things that shouldn’t have come to pass

The things that follow you to death.

The things you would go back and fix

The plans that didn’t end in bliss

The signs that you walked right by

All now highlighted back in time.

All the stupid decisions you made

Haunting you both night and day

When hindsight comes along your way 

To point out your mistakes

All those long apologies 

You practice in your head

Speeches never said out loud 

All belong to him.

Hindsight is a man’s worst mate

and best paired with regret

A nice strong swig of shameful 

to land him face first in the grass

Phantom tugs

Heart resounding

Silent draw

Peace filled pounding 

Two doors

Two paths 

I float between 

One of them calls out to me

Quiet prayer

Full surrender 

Take one step

And then another

I feel lost 

Don’t be desperate 

And In time God

Will share it

I feel peace 

In both directions 

Peace is good

I still have questions 

Pictures float

Peace and tension

Give me patience 

trust and heaven
