Let The Children Be(bronze)

With spirit filled with innocence
imagination's laughter shines,
as delicate as a petal
dancing freedom's song.

Eyes sparkle in wonder
at earth's subtle majesty,
swirling in vibrant colours
and sweet scented aromas.

Bathed in sun's sparkling warmth
growing sturdy and precious,
passions' sparkle without apology
a soft daisy in bloom.

Butterflies flitting,
discovering inner dreams,
as fibres of yearning
create future hope.

A fairy's gentle wings flutter
as breezes sigh in subtle song
and this new world curves a smile
to kindle the flame.

For all too soon life's duty strangles,
where a hobo's jaunty whistle
becomes lost within a symphony of mayhem.
Senses are devoured with screams for liberation,
oh to let them be little is a treasure beyond compare.

  • Ty for the congrats...

    The song you used makes me burst into tears every time I hear it, and so your poem did the same.. that must be a good thing right? I loved the soft flow and beauty of each word. You did an amazing job with this poem and I must say I am proud to have it in my contest. Thank you so much for entering!

  • What would we do to have that sort of innocence again, where the world was simple. Beautifully put. Best to you in the contest
