Naivety in Shadows

Naivety in Shadows  
By Conrad van Niekerk 3rd Generation Poet  
2
The simple and naive are the powerful indeed,
For the other has their boundaries set by
experiences met.
3
The freshness of youth does not rule the wise,
For the wise lifts the horizons and expands
youths sight.
4
Just be warned that the young and brave must not
hast away, For the house is build when the
material is priced.
5
What will you see if in your little world you
live, Never upward or budding more
6
In the shadows of the light they are being
developed, From naivety without lethargy they
emerge in sight.
7
So all are brave if we look at the span, The
span of naivety that's in all of man
8
Just look on the wise but keep vision untied,
Then you'll find your passion unlocked.
9
Then you'll find your passion unlocked. Never
settle in what you became, For like the pond if
you stop to long you'll perish.
