Innocence

A star falling above the horizon
A child smiling at another sunny day
Like a tiny hope of peaceful dawn

Little memories, sweet dreams, never fading echo
Tender petals above
Fresh scent of mown grass and thousand paths to go
First kiss of love
Undying feeling so pure and deep
Like a clear childish dream

Innocence flows within
Every dear memory
Unveiled fantasy

Innocence dwells within
With first feeling
Endless daydreaming

Like an echo and dreamless dawn
We all keep something dear inside
A page of lost diary or favourite song
We try to keep it deep in the heart

Taste of youth
Blossom of truth
We dance on the edge
Looking down the unfinished page
Trying to see
What’s hidden beneath

Innocence sleeps underneath
In every new day, every dream
Like a song yet unsung, memory unseen

Innocence rests deep inside
Caressing old scars, wiping tears in eyes
Singing silently a child’s lullaby
