One Way Back

I've found my way back there,
To the time 
When innocence was pure, 
Not tainted 
With a little or more guilt.
To when the eyes could tell you 
Of what tomorrow holds 
While the heart guides its steps. 
Once lost, 
I found my path 
Threaded but untarred, 
Worn, rough, 
With little shrubs here and there.
The only steps I found there 
Were mine still, 
So I traced my way down 
To the start, 
To pick what I left behind.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
