Innocence Lost Poem by Nathan Kronschnable
Innocence Lost
To think back to those innocent times
Of living life with a rhythm and rhyme
Known only to you and your pure heart
Your young bright soul, so free from the dark
The summer breeze, cool and true
The towering trees and sky so blue
Such beauty feels so wasted today
For I never knew what I would soon pay
The spirit is tainted for no good cause
With the age-old evils of pain and loss
This goes out to my long-gone friend
Who I shall never forget 'til the very end
Can you remember the magic we shared?
No evil nor demons touched our hidden lair
A place just for us, up high in the trees
I implore you, remember, remember it please.
Never forget the music of youth,
The harmonious mystery of wisdom and truth
The modern life, stained so, so dark
Could never taint your loving heart.
I am an amateur poet, this is only my third serious poem.

To touch upon the transition from childhood innocence to adulthood (whatever adulthood is) , is very brave of you. To speak of an experience poetically is to know it comes from who you really are. I am sorry for your loss. You have done justice to the person you lost and to yourself with this poem. How sad it is that adulthood often robs us of this. This is a very meaningful and well written piece of art. Thank you for sharing it with me.
