Ah, the scent of purity

Hidden beneath battered skin

Cowers, to those obsessed

With breaking the chaste;

This Cinquain might be disturbing to some, and I apologize for that.  But no one can justify taking the life of a child, or any human being, under any condition…


Senseless

The ways of war

Ravaging innocence

Inexplicable brazenness

Murder

Innocence,

that place

only a child’s

imagination knows.

Where the angels

and the demons

draw upon them,

a daily discovery

Of right

and wrong

of weak

and strong

 

Do they belong?

 

Innocence

that place

we left

long ago

Second to None ~ #poetry of #innocence

Innocence reigns, in the eyes of a child

They watch, bewildered, awed and beguiled

Asking about, the man with the hat

Wondering why, he is dressed quite like that

Why the sky is blue, and the grass is green

And every other color, left in between

Catching the sun, as it lights up their face

Taking it in, with seraphic grace

Oh how I wish I could see what they see

Shine on, dear child, who never was me

Live out your life, explore your dreams

Capture the beauty, of every moonbeam

Race to the morning, rise with the sun

Always remember, you’re second to none
