What is said - can't be unsaid.
The word is a bird: once flown
Unlikely to be caught!
Just as it is merely words...
What if you ask of deeds?
Can these be mended, remade
So that the lost be restored?
The broken twig's irretrievable limb,
Fey dusk irresistibly dims.
A dreadful effect sure gobbles its fill.
The deadliest slash is unlikely to heal...
However, in our human condition
One is able the wrong re-condition -
Scruples, shame and remorse
To a remedy an initial course.
Where a comforting word,
Where help, where support
Can somehow relieve where it hurts.
You can check then the flying of the bird!
