Illumined Innocence

Playfulness childlike
causes bliss to spike,
if our heart clings not
to decaying rot.

Embrace and release,
flowing like the breeze;
no rear view mirror,
hence no heart tremor.

Waves of the ocean
cause no commotion,
as they just flow on,
each moment reborn.

Feeling heartbeats sing,
to what should we cling 
for each pulse is new
like the morning dew?
