INNOCENT SPARKLE (ZAHRA BAKER)

Folder: 
JOURNAL #39

she runs now into the singing
shedding the hobbled life
of a near familial out cast
praise, ye lay claim
to such a broken childhood's beauty
let the world grieve
for all it yet even knows
about the 'Innocent Sparkle' it has lost
to the sun filled mist
forever now in children 's glorious
playing
our eyes again will touch the fringes
of what she herself embodied
such purity of precious spirit
so wisely encased in the face
of a trusting child
moreover
a healthy portion
of Pandora's own last gift
snatched so cruelly
as it were
from this often frightening fear filled world
that of the freshest, sweetest of all
human feelings
love's unbridled hope.................
