The Color of Innocence

Innocence is the color of white, 
      of a perfect seashell lying in wait, 
          for a curious hand, 
               an anxious mind. 
Innocence is the color of pink, 
      of the rosiness of a babe's cheeks, 
         of the underside of a sunset, 
             slowly dissapearing behind rolling hills of green. 
Innocence is the color of blue, 
      of a perfect fall day, 
         with leaves falling around you, 
              like shed dreams. 
Innocence is the color of a first kiss, 
      when the lips touch anothers, 
              when the slowly blooming rose of love, 
                     blooms in your heart. 
   Its the color of a perfect shell, 
        of a babe's cheeks, and a dissapearing sunset. 
   Of the perfect fall day, spent with the one you love, 
        of a first kiss. 
It's the color, 
             the color of innocence.
