Return to Innocence

Genesis

I believe you make the world a better place from within for reality starts with thought. Thought without guidance of a pure heart creates sadness. So many people are sad. Rich people, poor people, people who lost their dreams blaming the world they created in their minds.

I came into this world with a smile and a passion, but too stubborn to realize what the real battle is. I am beginning to understand some things after all these years. And I have suffered for giving up on my dreams and betraying my moral fabric. Nevermore.

I believe I have some insights through my poems from personal tragedy, indiscretions, refocus, and newfound faith. There is something intrinsic to the American Dream, to doing what is right in your heart despite the harsh words permeating our world.

Everyone wants to pursue their dreams within the quiet embrace of innocence.

This is what Return to Innocence is all about and a hopeful inspiration for you.
