When regret overtakes

When the world goes dry
I’ll have a few tears
bottled in regret
and helplessness
to float my boat
find new destinations

When the world looks upside down
I’ll know I’m the chosen one
the one deserving to be
on the Maker’s side
laughing at his own mistakes
launching new ones

When regret overtakes intent
I’ll have a thought to fall back on
If the Maker can make a mess
Of an honest experiment
I’ve earned my badges
To try once more, to cry once more
