Reflection on Life-change.

Too Late Now.

Too late to undo the impeccable warning
of streaky-red violet sky
of morning sunrise.
Too late for regret in unlocking the gate
of my heart.

Flimsily flown now towards unlicenced love,
desire has grown.
Impressionably large is the surety
of some future as fated.

Far too late for repair is the shattered air
of formality's view.
Defiantly late are the negative choices
of rebuilding anew used time.

Too late now for pretence that partnering
love with another be contended.
Gone is desire for undesired changes in life.
Is it too late though for wrong to be right ?

I reckon the effort is much harder as you get older, and we become very fussy about who we would take on. One grows to like the person one grows up with, faults and all, but to take on someone around about the same age as we are now, with more odd habits, I think not!!!! Nice write, makes one think about such things.

Well, having been one who has always believed it was never too late for anything in life, I liked this charming poem very much, Fay. As one ages, even falling in love for the wrong reason isn't as catastrophic as it would be if one was many years younger and had children to raise! Wonderful and touching thoughts in this fine write! Carl.

A fine poem Fay. I find an individuals perception of whether or not it is too late can vary wildy. Are we demure, or do we just go for it and ride the consequences. great lines great flow, and I haven't got a clue over any of the answers. Much Enjoyed.

Reading this I felt you sitting at a desk piled high with things yet to be dealt with and placing one manila folder (foolscap?) after the other down on the desk. Each followed by a comment. I think your versatility in writing could even be further expanded. Great stuff, a pleasure to read. Hxx

Time passed cannot be regained and the wrong of the past cannot be made right now or in the future! What is the use of worshiping Sun after becoming blind? It is too late indeed!

"THEY " say, It's never too late", whoever "THEY" are....but one thing i believe is that a line must be drawn in the sands of trust & loyalty...Splendid penning,lass ! FjR
