It is a twisted thing that human souls


It is a twisted thing that human souls
take breath into this place of hollow hopes,
bright illusions that draw us into their thrall ---
where flickering gems will catch a seeker's eye;
lure him helpless into the gears of a wide deception.
He struggles in innocence, wanting simply this ---
what all hearts want and are wired to desire.

Yes. Or better yet...To LIVE all of one's life with some degree of innocence and an open heart before the end comes.
