Don't shed the blindness,

Innocence will fade the first,

Life is only last.

    Very true words!

    The lines seem to be a meditation on the inevitable loss of innocence as we age. Awesome ✨✨

    This makes me think of the magic of Christmas for some reason and how it becomes less magical once you stop believing in Santa. Anyway - I thought it was stunning. Happy Holidays to you.

    This has a real mysterious feel to it! The way you capture innocence slipping away and the notion of life being the only constant is striking. It’s short but packs a lot of depth!
