Ode to Regret

The storm clouds wait patiently
For the command
Gathered in the skies above my head
But I feel no regret
I feel no regret
I can only feel love
For those I once knew
For those I've yet to know
For those I love now
And even the storm can't take that away
Pray I don't regret another day

The fury of the wind barrels through the air
At the demand
Bending objects to it's will
But I feel no regret
I try to feel no regret
I can only feel honored
To know those I once knew
To know those I'll come to know
To know those I am honored to know now
And even the wind can't blow that away
Pray I don't regret another day

The pouring rain stings my face
At the insistence
Incensed at my resistance
And I can not deny the pain
No, I can not deny the pain
Of loosing the ones I knew
Of loosing the ones I'll know
Of loosing the ones I have now
And even the sun can't shine that pain away
And I'll live to regret another day

The lightning cracks across the sky and the thunder roars
In victory
On my knees in the storm
But all that regret won't change things
I am what I am because I feel
As long as I still feel
For those I've known
For those I may know
For those I know now
And even the storm can only make it vague
Can only make it vague
But I'll take it anyway
Yes I'll take it anyway
Things will feel better in light of day
As time marches on
There's so much yet to be done.
