The Power of Innocence

Innocence is a profound divine feature
Like a lotus leaf unmoistened from all vice 
Extolled in sermon talks by every preacher
Plunges like a cascade from the paradise

Shines with the purity of jasmine flowers
Like an unclouded crystalline dome, it gleams
As melodic as a birdsong from towers
Pristine like the quiescent water in streams

Innocent people wish for others' welfare
Their lives are open diaries in all spheres 
With no inhibitions all things they do share
Their hearts unspoiled like stored honey for years

Innocence is God as He is unattached
Replicate Him and to Him perfectly matched.
