Catch Me If You Can



INNOCENCE

I am innocence

Staring up at you with a bashful smile

Biting my lower lip

As a curl twists around my finger

Will you kiss me?

I am anxious and eager

You bend

For your mouth to meet mine

I jump up and run

Laughing joyously, hair flying

Bare Toes

Prancing across open fields

Clouds drift slowly overhead

Enveloped in the afternoon sky

Myriad sun sprinkles caress my skin

And you begin the chase

Catch me if you can

– Shelley Langstaff
