Innocence Lost: Jesus Is Better

That song transports me to another time Of childhood  Of innocence. An innocence alive in the emotion That has breath in the mind But decomposed in reality. The mouths of loved ones Singing joy into my soul, The stringed instruments Burning a sound into my brain. That sound !. But to pursure that virgin state Would itself produce the weighty grief That one is trying to dampen. But it is a weighty advantage To pursue a superior life. Innocence lost is grievous But Jesus gained is better.
