For Her Innocence

Writer's picture: Words Among TreesWords Among Trees

They are not airplanes but fish in the sky they are not fish but clouds in the river


They are not clouds but horses that dance they are not horses but angels around us


There is no sun on the mountain only an orange taken from the basket it is not an orange that glows but the sun hung from a tree


There is no light or darkness only fairy tales and dreams there are no dreams unless you imagine in tangerine


There is no night just a black stain there is no stain only unhealed pain that remains


There is no pain if you twirl your hair there is no wound if you dance and dare


There are no dolphins but mermaids on high they are not mermaids but cupids who spy


There is no riddle only earth’s gentle song there is no song only lullabies from the swan


There is no heart but a fallen leaf stolen by love not a thief


There is no thief but a chance to shine carve innocent smiles nurtured by time
