Innocence
would I continue on this course
and ply the fertile banes of youth?
walk across swift changing bridge
and hold upon once moments thoughts?
saved pure regard of all surveyed
did grasp, release and plan before
the time now seen
has passed beyond
what once was feared
and shunned aside
is
now
revealed
to show true light
permit the plan
to
crumble
now
allow
the
age
to
freshen
new
