Second Draft Poem #2

So many hours 
wasted on wishing, 
wasted on wanting, 
regret. 
Frivolous harmonies 
don't change 
the bass line, 
a hand doesn't change 
with the bet. 
So many hours 
used to convince 
this restless heart 
to be still, 
so many prayers 
lifted up to 
the night sky, 
but Providence moves
when it will. 
So many hours 
revisiting memories, 
adding the words 
left refrained.
So many hours, 
wasted on wishing,
when only 
so many hours 
remain.
