Cling to Innocence
Innocence on cliff edge, considering the ocean which lies before
Clouds kiss the water where sea and sky meet
Little girl, teddy bear in tow
Glances down at the water below
The waves beckon with white foamy hands
Promises of mystical enchantment in faraway lands
Unicorns, Pegasus’, dragons and knights in shining armor
Riding to her rescue, a princess in need of saving
Oh sweet darling princess
Cling to innocence
For soon you will swim
In oceans grim
In dangerous places
Where evil awaits
To steal your dreams
And lock you away in a dreary castle
Guarded by dragons and demons that taunt your soul
Reminding you of the little girl who once stood looking
Over the ocean dreaming of mystical places and knights in shining armor.

Wow, what a change of mood. I wasn't ready for that, but that's poetry - when it's done so stupendously well!
same as david..the sudden change of mood shook me..i was all in the dreamy fairytale atmosphere you wove and then the reality broke in..well connected by your title..cling to innocence..and that's what we all still can do.. enjoyed..
great turn...def the ideal and the warning...does that reality trump the dream...i still have some shreds on mine around somewhere...smiles.
romantic, exhilarating,and outstanding.
love the imagery of prince rescuing princess, evil awaits, dragons and with the little girl watching....
well done.
;)
Lovely!
agree with Dave and Claudia, how this turned and just chilled the emotions
This is so true. I often watch children and wonder what the future holds in store for them. Victoria
