What We Must Embrace

What we must embrace

is simplicity, simply 

knowing as a child knows,

untainted, unspoiled

by age and experience,

simply knowing and

simply accepting what is and

what could be, what should be,

because it’s all we know

as children, wide-eyed

and full of wonder,

open to possibilities,

wise in their simplicity,

in their simple faith believing

what is and what can be,

and making it real,

a simple reality

untainted and unspoiled

by age and experience,

embracing, as we must,

simplicity, simply knowing

and believing, simply doing.
