In
the light of innocence
Things
can be that
Babes
can outwit the weighty and
Where
their foolish or imprudent things confound
Can
there quite suddenly surprise the wise!
In
the light of innocence
Things
can turn inside out
And
upside down
And
there whole glories can be seen as flowers
Which
before the wrong way round
Had
been considered only weeds!
In
the light of innocence
Improbable
things can steal by
Real
as butterfly wings
And
there these strange fortuitous sightings
Appearing
all impossible
Find
all the more a certain appeal!
Oh
for eyes of innocence
And
a simpler heart
To
go against the flow of the ugly, and predictive
The
usual, the norm, and what we’re used to
And
choose instead life’s inner gold
And
the courage to be different!
