Oh simplicity how you reach out to my closed arms in fear of how simple it may be to be happy Without worldly posessions in grasps of their needy hands I've never felt so at peace as the trade winds sweep my hair on delicate sunsets of May where red wine makes me lush but aware... of the magnificence of this moment, here, now. The geese migrate, I seperate from the man made sounds of the city although the connect the dots of street lights seem to guide me The shifting landscape the shifted skew of my life five years ago I wouldn't have guessed this far The time is so simple, slow-moving, sweet I can almost feel the heart beat of excitement or the beat within my youthful feet. The railroad still gleams at dusk as does the lake shine as does the hidden blackbirds and blossoms of springtime. I now spend here alone as I did when I was young troubled, I would run.... to the same spot and watch the same sun as it shone day became night the stars endless candle light Now I'd ponder for hours leave here smittin relieved by the gift of life
I often forgot how precious simplicity is as I rush through the day... But why can't we just lay back in silence wallow in what is... ponder like a little child of what may be out in the universe
I lay here now, alone Spell bound by what I see an array of colourful hues and natures generosity I wish you were here with me
Smoke plumes heave as I exhale through these lungs This place of mine, timeless memories still live here I've come to remember all I have known and the simplicity of happiness still flourishes here just got to stop and wallow...
