My Innocent
Vigilant, I watched you sleep,
your face untroubled,
unwrinkled by harsh,
corrugating conscious time.
Did dreams of comforts
or of losses once
bring smiles,
grimaces?
Free from worldly worries,
you're innocent once more.
I have no "faith" --
but, through tears, I
see you rest easy.
No more awakings:
long deep death
is endless.
