Beset in a human type of spindrift
Silent acts of flapping, fleeting caws
Dawn gently melts away a rolling fog
As night temptingly slips off it’s drape
I feel on my skin the chilly air, breathe
As my weary mind wanders aimlessly
To recall all of your missed touches
Spoken words of love and their hope
We are those children no more, sadly
Angelical face of such sweet promise
Gone now, there- beyond that great pall
Shivers race feverishly through my soul
And I further wonder again to myself;
Would you return, if you really could,
To me, my heart, my arms as it once was,
Or would you remain- my lost forever?
Oh how my tears even fear your thoughts
And reluctantly fall- away from me too
Now only my shattered dark emotions
Will share their seasons… without you

Where flight became stalled
Because fear stood its ground
There- is where I- was reborn
Where I relearned my reality
As broken fragments of a self
Where I’ve seen the unveilings
Of time, truth, and Holy love
Where angels cried and wept
For my salvation and healing
And I- wept along with them
Where fire seared my mission
Forged into my soul as passion
A combatant for the wounded
Of humanities silenced…truths

The bliss of innocence and idealistic ignorance… stripped away whilst slowly transforming in adulthood.

Yes.. But some carry this ignorance with them into adulthood. Sorry I read into this a bit more.😊

Yes, a defiant obtuse ignorance… I would agree with however the premise is predicated on … lines concerning our childhood. No need to apologize, my friend.
