Dark Horse Poetry

Lost to innocence

To the one that knows their own light, life will give you its sweetest touch. A quality daring any word to capture, fills a life that’s truly lived. Wealth that flows without end, sings a melody. One that has no sound, yet fills the air with brilliance. Sell a thought for this kingdom and it shall be yours. A thought that speaks of poverty for a child’s acceptance. Pure innocence holds this thought. Gone to its own glory does naivety grow the tree of judgment. Surrounding intentions care for this nursery. Here the wound is covered, unknown to awareness, and set fourth to become. Innocence gladly gives its wealth away for the promise of love given. What justice can there be for a world of ignorance?

Only light can cast away the shadows to see there is nothing unworthy. Just a thought purchased with identification. Self awareness is the beautiful quality humanity carries above all other species. It also has the naivety to identify and attach to its perceived environment. An imprint of sorts that happens from birth. Imagine the comfort of a warm bath and then being dragged into a world of extreme difference. The scream of a babies first breath is life confirmed. Shared by most mammals, the birthing process shows great success. Yet humans are the only species that have such difficulty later in life. All other life glides along in a poetic flow with only occasional stress. The human psyche is complex, capable of very high intelligence and emotional depth, tears flow like no other life form.

You could easily say, we are far and away the most dominant species. Nothing is even in our ball park. Combine extreme emotional depth with heighten self awareness, and sprinkle in the pure innocence of a child and you have the makings for misidentification. Unknown to naivety, the beauty that shines so brightly from the innocent eyes of a child can never be defined. Ignorance reaches out from the heart of a child’s natural wonder and imprints on the surrounding energy to be its own reflection. Intuitive sensitivity gathers the extreme difference to be something devastating. Tears slowly close this wound and hide a feeling with no understanding. Like a loyal dog hurt by accident, it cowers as if it did something wrong. Or that it is something wrong. As the wound closes, awareness of the child’s true wealth and stability is slowly withdrawn. Identification now sounds the alarm of necessity and built over the dark feeling as protection.

Yet this feeling that hides, seeps out as an over all tone of, somethings wrong. Escaping any understanding, or even the possibility of question, the feeling is just accepted as absolute. The cast of support includes the entire world. Innocence cannot be anything else, but it can believe it is. And it’s this belief that drives human disfunction. The difficulty isn’t just a simple misunderstanding. It produces a complete misalignment and harmony is lost to a world of turbulence. Reaching to regain this intuitive harmonious state, the world becomes the promised wealth, of what once was. There can only ever be one place that true wealth is known. And it is the one place that’s locked and hidden under the promise of imagined death. Here innocence was lost to awareness, and here awareness must come with the light of wisdom to free a child that needs your forgiveness. Kindness softens the grip to free your heart. Willingness to move through the discomfort of letting go, finds the path to freedom. Nothing can change the purity of your innocence, not even your own belief. No finger to point, no fault to be found. It’s your life to live. Living free in your fullness, is realized with the courage for change…
