Mistakes

We all make mistakes

The key is to weather them with grace

At times the truth is hard to see

And everyone has their own take

Or philosophy in life

We all carry wounds in our hearts

Ambivalences or traumas

That set us apart

And sometimes hearts hurt other hearts

Mistakenly hoping to help

Painting a picture

Coloured by psychic blind spots

Or painful incidents long past

And in reflection things so often transform

When vision is eclipsed

By all the emotional storms

Rumbling so deep inside

Blowing the landscape clean

Offering no place to hide

Or find comfort, safety or shelter
