Innocence

innocence
that inherent quality that shines forth for all to perceive -
innocence that begs of nievety
uncracked by the jagged edges of a life well used (or not)

innocence
a way of being that somehow I aspire to
innocence in the face of the all knowing
give me the simple life  (it's easier)

innocence
endearing to those who are aware of this quality perhaps
innocence
usually found in infants and children
can also be found
where you find it.
