Quatrain of Confutile


Confutile - Sense of regret concerning
waste when the intrinsic value of the
object or resource is not properly utilized


Standing on a bench of trees,
breath over hills and mountain
air,

I saw regret staring me from
afar, it seemed worthless to
care,

I tried to give meaning to the
earth so bountiful and
effervescent,

But it was beyond my hands,
amalgamated feelings so
depressant.
