"A Simple Act"

As babes we are taught the purity of love.
Trust, gentle touches, loves pure look.
The simplicity of our hearts,
to be loved for what we are, our honest selves.

A simple act, a wholesome feeling, lifes blood.

Then why as adults do we lose the ability
to see and react to this.
Is it that we have forgotten how simple it is to love.
We pretend it is so complex.
We make it complex in our minds.
Play games with peoples hearts and emotions.

When one loves, why not just admit to it.
Why dress it up with falsehoods.
When love, in its purest form
is the most intoxicating emotion.
Its potential can be taken to the heavens
when held pure to heart.

I wonder still...

What has happened.
Has man forgot his heart.
Or do we not take the time to see it.
Why do we let it lie idle, to waste away.
All the time knowing it is what we desire.

I pray,
If it is to be heard by only one...
That we take the time,
remember its purity, its simplicity, its impact!
...To share it with one other...
...in hope for a continuance of its legacy...
