Walking Like Children

This is a letter I have written personally, for you.

My Dearest Comrade, 

We are strangers in passing but yet I seek to connect with you. Do not fear me nor think me queer that I should be so bold. I know that regardless of our perceived differences we are very much the same and I would  like to make your acquaintance.  

It would seem that honesty is only considered upon passing a series of tests in order to gain trust. Only then through a common interest and a judge of character should we begin to appreciate each others companionship. 

Why, my friend, do we choose to fear one another until we decide that we are worth speaking honestly?

I understand, that there are those whom would take advantage of such philosophy, for they are deceivers. We must be on our guard, comrade! 

But, suppose these deceivers had nothing to fear? 

Suppose we all could live by such virtue and, instead of fear, simply choose to love unconditionally?

Such is my dream, comrade.

That, we would embrace the opportunity to pave old roads in such freedom they would shine like polished gold under a new Sun. 

My God, what words would we speak?

 

What truths would we find within our own hearts to heal our very souls!

I could shout from the tallest mountain that every living creature would hear my secret; yet would fall to my knees  in despair of those who are deaf.

This truth is the most natural thing we have ever known.

It is so natural, comrade, that it can be seen and demonstrated in the innocence of a child. 

They know nothing else! 

What could be more natural than this? It is as natural as taking air.

I hope this letter finds you well, comrade. 

May we both guide ourselves to walk like children.

Sincerely, 

Sectando

Totally dig the idea behind this poem. Really like the "walk like children" phrase, everyone could for sure learn some lessons from children's innocence and open-mindedness. You could really feel the expression, awesome job!
