Broken Halos and Wings
My halo has plummeted
And I have broken both my wings
I don't think I will ever be the same again
As I no longer have these things
Yesterday I was young and innocent
I had never been kissed
Now I have fallen and can't find my way
And my innocence has gone amiss
What happened to the young girl
Who looked upon the world with starry eyes
Who always told the truth and never felt the need to lie
I am afraid she has been exposed to this world
It is a shame that growing up our innocence does take
And how our halo's plummet from our brow
The way in which our wings do break
And we lose that trusting heart we have somehow

a realization is born and the poem flows to fill the heart...I like it Neva xxx
Disillusion , beautifully and sadly expressed.
We have all lost our innocence--sadly.
This picture is beautiful
That's beautiful Neva. Maybe that's the reason we all love our childhood memories so much, looking for that long lost innocence.
it is sad in away that we do,we must go on to our life's journey
