the truth of the innocent is a simple thing.
it doesn’t know motives
it doesn’t know fear
it doesn’t know doubt
it is, and it does, freely
without concern for more than now
now is all there is
it knows wonder
sees it in everything
even you
especially you
it doesn’t understand
the rules that say ‘impossible’
the games that people play
innocence is mindful play
delight without demand
being, as is, without fear
the truth of the innocent is a simple thing.
but the world no longer believes in simplicity.
