Wishing For Innocence
I caught myself
Playing with my Legos, stuffed animals, and toys,
Yet,
The same joy
No longer had a home
In my young heart,
Chipped, and
Bruised.
So I locked
Them away,
Offering more than one
Longing glance
Back
And felt my eyes
Lose their last
Glow
Playing with my Legos, stuffed animals, and toys,
Yet,
The same joy
No longer had a home
In my young heart,
Chipped, and
Bruised.
So I locked
Them away,
Offering more than one
Longing glance
Back
And felt my eyes
Lose their last
Glow

the desire to return to the garden will never leave us....the point before we knew the unholy down the street....love the visuals

Sometimes the memories are bittersweet and it is a flame that needs to die. That feeling is very well expressed in this, the point between longing for those happy memories and knowing that they need to burn out for whatever reason. Great write!

Loved... loved this poem, especially when the world has lost most it's child-like innocence.
