Return To Innocence

Like a puppy

Sweet, innocent, exploring life

Never expecting to be hurt

Never planning to get lost

Abandonment wasn’t even a thought to consider

Finding you

After such a long journey

Scratched, hungry, cold

Being afraid is the best option for survival

Loving you just the way you are

Caring, nurturing, warming

Enjoying the healing that naturally occurs

Without wonder of where, how, or why

Letting the loving be enough

Celebrating the loving

Connection, joy, liberation

Returning to innocent exploration
