Dreams Of A Child



behind a child's dreams
shadows tread oh so softly
darkness slowly blooms

a mind fresh no fear
swiftly grows within a void
innocence is lost

Hi Melanie, it's been a while. It sure is nice to see you writing the haiku circuit. :)

I like your this 'has to happen' set. Do you remember ... Of course, we all do!

I have an OSI for this week but it is in hiding now that Mr. Linky went away. I may make rounds there tomorrow night.

It goes like that, doesn't it? It seems darkness hunts innocence. A cruel game.
