The Clueless One
Share with me your treasure
Of never quite grasping danger
Or understanding crueler intentions
Teach me to see through the ugliness
To see the simple beauty, I overlook
How is your heart so radiant, so open
What guards you from darkness and cruelty
Laughter escapes you freely
The smile lingers on your lips and in your eyes
Others think you clueless, like a little child
Your desires are not of things that they desire
They are confused by your compassion and love
Your smile and your freedom unrestricted by fear
Something in your joy seems uncomprehensive
Living in the moment, in the wonderment of life
How can I unclutter my mind, throw-out the nonsense
Live in your amazing world of unrestricted happiness
To unburden the complications of adapted anxiety
People call you clueless or simple because your free
You are an adult with the heart and joy of a child
Free to experience the richness of live in its purest form
You have something that others have forever lost
Freedom, true freedom from the need to impress
Freedom from the need for fame, prosperity or power
Freedom to laugh and dance, to be simply you
Let your clueless mind infect the air around you
So, for a minute in time I may be clueless too
