Blueprint


blueprint

To have the innocence
again, not abused 
nor denied

to see with the 
eyes of a child
the beauty 

that could be 
in it all -
what we lost,

through bitterness
the curse of 
me over you 

and warring life
throwing its poetic 
grenades, watching 

feathers fly 
the absurd piranhas
and cockerels fighting

fed love, 
the monsters
put to bed to sleep, 

to wake 
to live 
the beautiful dream

the sting 
of wonderment
in the child’s heart 

untouched 
open, sweet
beatific smiles

innocence untried
retrieved blueprint
could be ours again

in another world
in another time 
bathed in sun, 

Blue Sky

Your "blueprint" is another WOW write. I also love the picture. I am so glad I do not have any young kids. The world has gone mad and taken the kids with it. Hope you and your cats are OK. Have a Great/Blessed Day and Blessed Easter..............

Yes, indeed Fraulein Goldsmith. It is very sad, for all children in this world. Some children grow up with a propensity to understand their parents are not the gods and angels they once thought so in their kinder years - but it is comforting for them to know, within all of us, parents or not - angels do exist, some more light than dark. Moonie (aka Moonlight, when I am not in cat whispering mode, which is very seldom) and Rupert Valentino (aka as Rupes, or Whisker Chops, when flirting outrageously – me not him), send their most heartfelt Easter meows and purrs to you. Fond regards, The Lyran. Xxx

Lady L, your powerful words evoke a journey from the world in which we live of grenades, piranhas, and monsters into a realm of renewed innocence, unguarded smiles, and blue skies. I join you in that journey of hope. I love the lines "retrieved blueprint could be ours again". Thank you for this evocative Easter write, I am saving this in my Favs. I wish you all the blessings your cup can hold ~ John

If only I could construct a bomb full of LOVE and good intent towards others, that might be worth exploding over the world. I shall probably go to hell for saying that...Best at Easter to you and yours Monsieur Watt and may it be safe, full of Love and Joy.
