Promise of Youth

Mature shadows pass by
Reflect nothing;
Self, abandoned to appease,
Past's pain seared onto souls
Scurry to flee future's fear
Hunched under today's guilt.

To see and be seen, self held together,
Pain and fear left impotent
Under guiltless joy,
These faces that shine without
Pain or fear or guilt,
Exquisite reflector of soul and youth.

Innocence and naiveness lost...

to the jaded years of experiences both good and bad. Youthful faces glow rosy and unblemished by sorrow; heartaches, tragedies, disappointments never seen through those shining trust all eyes. Then, you invoke through your pen the powerfully wrought emotions that are necessarily felt in the equidistant journey of young to old.

Leon, this is a piece that taunts the brain and haunts the soul. And this too is a piece that now resides in My Favorites. <smile>

Don't Make Promises You Can't...

...why the hell not? Very nicely done. Seems to admire the promise of youth and mourn its passing at the same time.
