Guided

As life unfolds it seems like we have lost our innocence

They warned us without a doubt that time would come to end

Living day to day as the match lights, the fire consumes

We would not listen as they seemed to speak empty words

Now we look around and see a choice before us is provided

I’ll see you when the crystals of snow come dancing down

Blinding us while wandering in this winter wonderland

When did our lives get so complicated, so abbreviated

Whispers warn from the stars so far above still feeling so close

Brother hating Brother, Father trying to warm the sides so divided

As the rain comes pouring down, mixing with tears of pain

There is still a dream less spoken,  A life waiting to open

The more I think about it, the more I feel like I am wrong

The price we pay as we make it through another day

Less we look up and and yield to the one who has presided

Given to me, this vision, yet waiting for you to show me a sign

If I only had the will to wait for more than just a little while.

So many than just a few complications in this misdirected life

Too much to let compete with my undying pride

Eyes wide shut, arms raised, Finally feeling as if I am guided

    I think the loss of innocence just occurs naturally as we strive to build our lives in a better way, in order to prosper. With the onset of wisdom, it returns to us with its beguiling smile, not angered by our neglect but happy to have returned. Well done, Poet.
