"Innocence is..." - a poem by AngelMercury, written on Sept. 13, 1999

Innocence is smiling

When you see a flowery rainbow,

Innocence is talking

To the dewdrops in the evening,

Innocence is laughing

With the bluebells under the rain,

Innocence is embracing

The rays of sunshine in the morning.

Innocence is painting

A gentle kitten on a common stone.

Innocence is crying

When others are hurt and dying,

Innocence is listening

To the crescent moon at midnight,

Innocence is giving

Your loaf of bread to hungry children,

Innocence is believing

And praying to God for the world.

Innocence is not childish

But an adult's forgotten best friend.
