Within my thought
and possibly to someone else,
I’m trying to convey
the nature and importance
of my innocence

The nature  – in my thought,
it rockets up the sides of trees
and down along the roots,
it darts and pulses with the flow of energy,
and it can do no harm, for it’s defined
within the very impulse
that brings it forth

And as for its importance  –
it frees me from the minefield of regrets,
it lets me know that I am whole,
and always have been,
it shows me, in this moment,
how to be.
