Innocens non Timidus (Innocent but Not Afraid)
April 23, 2010
The Sparks
Burn brighter everyday
As we grow up and learn the ropes
The embers
Scorch our senses
As we come alive and find our way
The flames
Slowly shape us
As we test our new found wings
The fire
Catches ahold of our thoughts
As we give in to temptations
The blaze
Takes control
As we discover lust and love
The inferno
Scalds our restraints
As we finally break free from our chains
The smoke
Is all we leave behind
As we dissipate into the night
