For you, Mom, on the day after you died.
Exploring the space
Between acceptance and regret—
Beginning my journey
As the brilliant sun sets.
I've avoided this for too long
and now the time has come
when we cannot make amends.
It's too late now.
All which is undone
will remain forever undone.
The only thing left to do
is to accept that regret
is a part of life,
and to not let it drag me down any longer.
