The Loss of Innocence

Soft laughter floats 

through  the window 

overlooking the playground.

Innocent delight, 

such a pleasant sound.

 No worries, no cares, 

 unless a stumble 

and scraped knee intrudes.

Home to Mommy,

clean the cut, she

always in control.


Do you remember the moment

you discovered  

that no one was in charge,

that nature was scraped

beyond all repair?
