Innocence Lost And Found

By Moiz Poonawala


Not too long back I had a friend ,

Whose smile I know I shall never forget ,


He could make this world a lively place ,

Smiles hid all pain on that innocent face


His eyes were kind , happy ,and full of life

Overflowing with joy, never scared of strife


His heart was pure , and so unstained

His spirit free , never knew restraint .


His mind so free without a care ,

His thought flew high where angels dare


His words were kind, so sweet , so pure

Like music that can heal, soothe and cure


But the winds of change , at him they tore

Re-sculpted his mind , his heart and his very core.


He seldom smiled , or spoke his mind ,

Seldom showed much care for his kind .


His friends grew few , and many were his foes

His words grew few as his pride arose.


Anger and pride consumed his very being

I Pitied the ailing soul , alone and devoid of all sheen


Now everyday I stand among my own reflections

And tell myself it's now or never ,

Change now my friend , before you are lost forever .

It is a heartfelt reflection on how life can take away the light in a person & how hope & change are still possible. I felt a mix of sorrow, care & a gentle push to not lose oneself! The poem is emotional & honest

This poem made me realize how life can change anyone, even the kindest hearts. It also made me think about staying kind and caring in my own life.

It's about trueness. Trueness to be like a great friend. It felt as if everyone needs that advice from someone who's true to us even in our bad days.
