Being

Born into this world
I felt enough
It felt enough
I was not shy of strangers
I smiled them
Like my son does now

Now I am shy
But why
What is it I am supposed to be on the face of this earth
Rather than just be.

What natural innocence
Resides in a child that is loved

Experience roughens the smooth body
Like the shell of a tortoise
We retreat within

Yes we have retreated in a shell now. We are all an agreement, but let us change the agreement and become transparent turtles.

A see-through dressing
The moon smiling down
A gentle revelation
Breath-taking
Softly exposed

Oh so beautiful my dear. What a beautiful dream.
