Innocence
When I reach out to people
from my past
it's so I can find my childhood
I long to find that innocent
and bright child I was
Untouched by this world and its deceit
Most often efforts are squashed
by misconceptions
For far too many live in their own minds
And far too many lies are
built on bridges
That are never meant to be crossed
Someday I do hope the clouds of fear and Judgement clear
paving a path of friendship and goodwill
For all I want is to find that innocent and bright child who thought the world was made of bridges so we all could pass through.
