Innocence
[PureInsight.org]
Innocence, like a child's heart untainted
when first to flower come spring
like dawn in its moment of awakening
a trembling bird upon the wing.
Innocence, like a tender shoot sprouting
days of blue and cloudless skies
like a spark before the brightest sun
to trust without question why.
Innocence, like a butterfly emerging
water from a purest fount
like the night in silence of prayer
the return to innocence paramount.
