Innocence Lost

Can innocence lost
Be ever returned
Or a heart, tainted and broken
Be cleansed, made whole once more?

Can a tree, longing for summer's warmth
Summon its leaves from cold autumn grounds
To return to naked branches
That it may feel joyful and alive again?

Can a child, disillusioned
Relive broken dream
Changing fate
To find naivety return?

Can joy be had in innocence lost
Or beauty be discovered, resting in sadness?
When birth of spring and warmth of summer pass by
Till all that remains is the still and quiet of winter
Will warmth be rekindled?

Randall Anderson Date: 1/26/2010 5:15:00 PM I wish I could convey as beautifully the pains I feel... Not to mention how much I could change the things that happened. I love what you are all about. Please Keep writing! Even if it is only for the friends you have, and not what has been lost. I know that I would love to be a friend to such a beautiful soul. But I also know the pains of "Broken Promises and Empty Words" I wish you well in all you do.
