Return to innocence


I say a prayer so fervent
To crawl, to whine, to be innocent
To relive that forgotten moment
I wish, I wish I were a child again..

Everyone wishes that..none ever gets to achieve it...that is a known, appreciated knowledge..but none wants to accept it...ever thought why?

@Anu n Parvati : Anu, Pardon me for taking this into a discussion..

@Parvati: Do you really think Innocence of a baby can coexist with the Wisdom of the sage..isnt Wisdom the very anti thesis of innocence?

Krish, are you asking me as to why people don't accept this fact? my closest and almost immediate guess to your question would be this: I believe that the innocence of a child is the ideal frame of mind that anyone would want to achieve, a state of perfect peace. Isn't it basic human instinct to crave for something as ideal as that? And when you know it's highly difficult to achieve that, it's a desperate hope and longing that holds you back from accepting certain things..

But I have a question here (may be a very ignorant one): Is this kind of innocence impossible to achieve, for an adult? It may be difficult owing to the thousand prejudices and apprehensions(we get to hold over years) that tarnish this innocence that one possesses as a child..But, is this impossible for someone?

Ramya, I think you need a time-machine! :) (get working on it!! :D)

Amrita, :)..

Parvati, thanks! :)..I will check out the post@ this url..Meanwhile, you have Krish's question to answer!

Anu said...

Parvati, That's mind blowing explanation! :)

Krish, I think wisdom and innocence are essentially independent, though at later stages in life, spiritual wisdom often aids in realising this innocence, that is lost in the frills of day to day activities. As a child, we are ignorant (and don't we say sometimes ignorance is bliss..? :p) but despite that, innocence is so wonderfully existent. I believe that as we grow up, wisdom and innocence could coexist in a person!

Parvati, didn't expect you tire out this much, that you want to come back only after a month..:(..

"To relive that forgotten moment", yeah really!

reminds me of 'enigma'...

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence

Hey! No fair! I left a comment here days ago and I now see it didn't show! :/

well, I basically said that I hoped this poem were inspired by sweet childhood reminiscence and not by an unpleasant experience of adult life.
