When first the faintest breath of love
exhaled its whisper on the winds,
when first the softest touch of heaven
bent its halo 'round the earth,
a silver-rippled promise rose
from voices bathed by innocence.
It pierced the darkness; light poured through
in waves of glory, surging forth
with strength enough to carry all
humanity to vibrant heights.
What fool would call the dark and beg
for its return? Who'd turn their back
on light that heaven kissed? And yet,
today, so many fools exist.

This one is longing for expansion. I just know you have more to say about this. The first stanza is brilliant, extracting what might seem (to me) to be an oxymoron. To me, innocence projected with strength is quite appealing... and quite rarely spoken of in anything but benign terms.
I'd love to read more on this subject. Very nice...
