A BEAUTIFUL PLACE


DULL
"But the Emperor has no clothes" said the little child,
Innocence, honesty, truth writ large on his face,
The child sees no evil, hears no evil, speaks no evil,
All that he  speaks is what he sees,
Not for him disguised truth,
Not for him sugar coated venom,
Not for him deceit, a facade or a mask,
His face is awash clean. 
It is brilliant as there is no color on his face,
The green of envy, the yellow of fear, the red of being ashamed, the blue of pressure,
Not white , not black, not pink or purple.
His skin is clear,
His eyes are fearless,
The brilliance of truth,
The radiance of honesty,
The trust that he bestows upon us,
We grown ups who mark our words,
Who mask our feelings,
Who look for opportunities to pull the rug from under someone's feet,
We have lost our innocence and live craftily.
Can we be honest with our own self?
Can we be pure, fearless, and seek that hidden brilliance,
So that we can also see the world as it is…a beautiful place!
VIBRANT

As we grow older our desires multiply and in the process the innocence of childhood gets pushed to the background. Can we recapture that? then the world will still continue to be a beautiful place. Nice thoughts!
