The glimmer of promises too delicious to bear. Fantasy on the backdrop of dreamscapes. Trusting the yearning would transport there. Til time unraveled the mysteries. And delivered to utter despair. Disillusioned and trembling at the deception. Exposed and soul left bare. Where was wisdom while innocence was yet unformed. When innocence died and was tossed to the storm. Left to rail at the forces even as bent to conform.
