In pride my bare feet crushed the dew

of the morning field, before life taught me

 

I was as the dew, nothing more than mist

that had cooled into a tiny reflective globe

 

I apologize for who I used to be, fleeting

marauder of what I failed to understand

 

Remorse is not the end of wisdom, but yet

it seems a beginning, as I walk mornings

 

That I never imagined, my feet more worn

and yet more tender as I’m beside the point
