Poetry: Enthralled by Innocence

I look up
And see the innocence spread across your face

You lack no good thing
Though your heart is not replaced

In a perfect world
There you are,
You swim through city streets
Crossing bridges not to cross the line

Enthralled by innocence
I am of you
Enamored by hope
You are of me

Our faith is not found in these things
Only in the cross Christ shone

The heart of man
Desperately clenches its way through the shadows
Its wickedness pierces through the seams

Clean on the surface
Dirty in-between
The face of innocence
Touches the limitless view of eternity.
