The Victorious return to innocence

Briskly re-enacted the path I took today
Simply forgotten retraced my steps and way
Smiles replenished by things gone astray
Crowds gathered for stories I give and take
Only discover
The inglorious truncation of growth and grace

Soon forgotten by what I dreamed and saved
Focused my attention on things I didn’t gain
Quickly attracted the things I hate
Have to stop this no more can I take
Only discover
The porous diffusion re-honed and sways

Learned to attract only what I need today
Then expand to what I dream and praise
Swinging high believing I’m healed my way
Gained by footsteps taken again and again
Only discover
The Victorious return to innocence
