Someday

A look in the mirror.

What do I see?

 

A sea of silver,

 whitecaps crashing upon the shore.

 

Knowledge?

Experience?

 

Neither count.

Neither can be prepared for.

 

Innocence lost.

Innocence found.

 

Innocence be damned.

I will survive.

 

I will keep my head up,

I will walk tall,

I will survive.

 

Time may steal from me,

 innocence.

 

I have craved,

I have yearned,

I have yet to experience.

 

Is it to much to wish?

 

Someday?

 

Someday,

I may experience,

 innocence.

 

Oh,

what a day that will be.
