Power of Innocence

I twirl around, eyes closed, In a fog, so thick Feeling like I am a fawn Wanting to play Wanting to be cuddled And sheltered But realizing not that preying on me Are wolves, thirsting And salivating Ready to swallow me in a gulp For attracted they are To my flesh and my bones! Pray, mindless of the danger I twirl, jump and swagger As if the God fairy of Cinderella watched over me As if crushed and broken into pieces Would be all those wolves! Pray, eyes closed I can only follow the pulls of my heart Its frenetic beats Seem to resound with a confidence Implying that I should keep moving Going wherever I feel like For, faced with my innocence Even wolves shall turn all meek!
