Younger than Innocence -Knowing in Essense
By Sarah Faithy, Early 2006
Note: I love this poem, even if its kind of weird.  I know it has an interesting format, but I like it because it captures how life sort of goes...in phases.  In words.  Each phase only need but a word to truly describe it, and as each phase passes, as each word is written, when all is said and done, you find that they're not really a jumble of words after all... they've written a story.
Fresh - Light - Wonder - Innocence.
Find - Laugh - Wander - In essense.
Stop.  Hesitate.  touch? or not to touch?
Step - Accumilate.  Pain.  needed so much.
Experience - a year - ashes? or flame?
Expire - I wish.  Move on - Still but, tame.
Somber... wisdome.  Tears - knowing.
Sounder - a year.  Time - growing.
Stop - ponder.  Keep going? - pause.
Step.  Taller.  Time thought - its clause.
Fresh?  yes.  Light?  sought.  Wonder? A mystery.
Younger than Innocence.
Find?  More.  Laugh - knowing.  Wander - in direction.
Experience in essense.
