Innocence is bliss
or is that ignorance?
why not and what ifs
coulda, woulda, shoulda
but I didn't
and here we are
just me and my words
and you and your eyes
no sense in stopping now
keep reading
I have a secret
but I won't tell you till the end
life is so very delicate
(no, that's not the secret)
we all know this is true
look around
it surrounds you
the way a bee crashes
into a butterfly
mid-flight
the way her eyes
softened when they looked
at mine
how paper tears so simply
yet, cuts your finger
just as easily
how a tired father
whispers
"I love you"
making his first
appearance
at tuck in time
and the way the light
combs the hair of the earth
with a little help
courtesy of the wind
You are a masterpiece
perfectly crafted
a blue print
built to life
by the breath
of pure energy
the essence
of the Universe
That was the secret
(tell everybody)
