Poem -
" THE NEW AGE OF INNOCENCE "
If all the world and butterflies were young
And a thousand fragrant fireflies
Lit, the undercurrents of Love
Then, the new age of innocence
Would have begun
Candlelight would imbue every ballroom
With the pinkish color of Paris at night
"La Vie En Rose" would be on every radio
And Venus would be in the afterglow
Of every young man's romantic evening
Keeping every young girl's heart happily beating
Where visions of fur lined slippers for the cold
Would be given freely and never sold
A honey tongue and a heart of gold
Would be all that was ever needed
In this, my newly imagined
Age of innocence...
Tony Taylor (Chicago)

"La vie En Rose" ...I can actually say that in the French accent...learned in school to roll the toung back lol...but the French have a beautiful way of expressing even a butterfly in their language....beautiful way of writing how when the young are so innocent ,nothing else matters than innocence.....if we could take that leaf and keep it in our journey to adulthood......time would unravel a different world....need your dream tony <3 ...Tina x
Thanx TINA!!..........you're right the french have a beautiful way of doing most things involving art.......before electricity in Paris the street lights had candles in them which cast a pinkish kind of glow throughout the city at night.........making it extremely romantic at night..........the reason behind a lot of this write.........thanx so much for the awesome comment!!............Love and Rockets!!..........T xo
