Is innocence tantamount to youth? Must it wither away with age and time?
Or can it remain an untainted perception of reality, despite the tribulations of circumstance? I’d like to hope it is a choice, rather than something doomed inevitably to demise – an internal purity we might preserve, which need not reflect external deterioration, a flower that might bloom and bear fruit despite drought.
Taking a guess this is you in a happy moment?! :D There is a real freedom in knowing nothing at that age, but oh so vulnerable, and we don’t know that either!

I’m never sure if it’s good — or sad– that our innocence never lasts long…
Nice poem, nice thought.
maybe
innocence
isn’t just a starting point

maybe
it can be a choice
for something bigger
That’s too deep to contemplate right now.
I’ll think about it after a good night’s sleep.

I believe that innocence is a choice. We can, at any time, just accept the best in others
maybe
what makes us human
is our ability
awareness of thought
our choices
they not only accept their freedom they embrace it…throw themselves at it! :) adorable grin is priceless
children
their happiness
so infectious
Profound ending and I think it would be better not knowing so much! :)
some things
are easier
not knowing
