Mistake Poem by Phil J Hambling

Mistake

When a thought stretches out
Beyond the point of truth
And snaps under the weight of fact
As age envelopes youth
The heart swims deeper
In the quicksand of mistakes
And the clock runs faster than the measures
You can take
To take away an error
Or heal a wounded heart
Cast in stone forever
But completely torn apart
