 | | | she
so innocent in age
eloquently dancing
with her blistering feet
staging her soul
with no look of defeat
she
so innocent in age
laying her heart
all for the mass of ignorance
that mock,
that tease,
sinfully unaware
oh and let’s not forget
paid, for her heart’s desires
she
so innocent in age
for her there is no rest
no justification
to be,
trapped by such a situation
she
so innocent in age
I cry a tear
do they not see,
as me?
her classic beauty
her tiny chocolate hands
her scratched up toes
her sweet wrinkly nose
her brave spirit
those brown eyes
filled with hope
she
so innocent in age
the night’s sky has fallen
I see
her heart tired of dancing
longing for freedom
I see
those BIG brown eyes
gleaming with hope
she
so innocent in age
I catch a smile
and cry a tear
for in that moment,
she
so innocent in age
is sweetly surrendered, to the magic of play
