Under the Lense of Innocence

Obsidian like eyes dart
to and fro playing tag
with questions and answers.
Shyness is a trait
yet to be learned by
her heart that still beats
a brave rhythm, her tears
always dry by morning.
Under this lens of innocence
the dirt on her tired limbs
is a fairies good luck kiss,
the cracks in paving stones
to be avoided no matter
the weather, and others
glances to be defied
with an unrestrained smile.

Sarah. Great three lines:
“Under this lens of innocence
the dirt on her tired limbs
is a fairies good luck kiss”

And, thanks for the new word in my vocab ‘obsidian’!

Miss Paige, you have a thing for beginnings. This hit me like a first kiss--do you remember how your first kiss was? That's how the start of this poem hit me. Brilliant. Absolutely Brilliant. Bravo.
