Learning

We never stop ….

Learning

As the setting sun gently kissed

The distant horizon rim goodnight

Its fiery coattails were reflected

Across the stratus shredded sky

In a myriad of orangey splendour

I could feel the warmth of the day

Dissipate away by a mild stroking

Of cool night finger flowing breezes

Sending subtle shivers through me

And began a honing of my psyche

Casting distracted eyes upward

I could not help but contemplate

That my journeys over past years

Most probably on a predestined path

Will turn out longer than my future

And as I cannot erase what’s been

Dwelling on self faults seems fruitless

Thus best to study from life’s lessons

And change conduits of my manner

To hopefully build a better character

Glancing at collected material chattels

I wonder if these are really needed

For cherished recollections in my heart

Are more priceless than worldly offers

And provide comfort to a sensitive soul

The firmament now unwraps clearly

Gratis awesome within infinite heavens

And viewed with non-judgmental sight

Brings about my greatest imaginations

Sharing new potentials with the reader

Relying on family and friends for help

I have found immunity from loneliness

They fill a void created within mindset

Of inert nature and frequent insecurity

Giving me an inner strength to survive

yes, we cannot dwell on past mistakes...just look to the future...stay strong and appreciate the loved ones who stand by us.
We cannot erase, only learn from our past.
i like how you use nature to describe this...the sunsets which are beautiful...our own sunsets which can be beautiful if we keep that inner strength...
tomorrow is a new day, to move on.

There are lessons to be learned in everything we do and everything we say. No one is immune. We are on a pathway of life long learning, and all of us make mistakes. Yes every single one of us makes mistakes. Beautiful poetry and I love the introduction of nature in all her glory in your wonderful lines Phill.
