By a kitten's innocence,
A boy was fascinated.
"She hasn't met the world,"
The boy said.

"Have you met the world?"
Asked his brother.
"I know of killers and thieves,"
Was the boy's answer.

Not of sights, adventures,
Of love, life and its secrets.
By the world's cruelty,
A boy was disenchanted.

Real eyes
realize real greatness
lies not in sight
but inside.

Secrets pouring out.
Castles falling down.
The dead are moaning
underground. And the
living are fighting over
the throne and crown.
While the clowns paint
their smiles upside down.
The skies weep tears
of pain. And I'm afraid
the world has gone
insane* ~

Wasn't she just born?
        Eighteen years ago.        
    Flies by so quickly.
Done with High School already?
        Yes, and I'm so proud of her.
    She's grown, matured, persevered.
Where did the time go?
        Where it always goes.
    In friends, in learning, in life.

The song of innocence stopped when she screamed.
She screamed out of fear.
She knew she did something forbidden
The song of innocence played for a man,
And the bird sang as the man ran,
And the bird sang as the man fell.
The song of innocence soothes the ears of a girl.
A girl who listens with curiosity
A girl who grew up to be a woman
