Change of Seasons II: Innocence

I remember a time
My frail, virgin mind
Watched the crimson sunrise
Imagined what it might find
Life was filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depth of winter's snowInnocence caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life in me
Still I longed to search for moreBut those days are gone now
Changed like a leaf on a tree
Blown away forever
Into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
And my sun's not so bright
I struggle to hold on
With the last of my mightIn my den of inequity
Viciousness and subtlety
Struggle to ease the pain
Struggle to find the same
