Sophistication stems from subtle simplicity
So stop sophisticating simplicity
Silken streams of sense swirl silver shadows deep
Simplifying the sophisticated, in slumbering silence keep

"Why" before "Die"
Trying to understand,
the great plan,
Ultimate quest, of
Woman, and Man.
Yet, do we ever truly know,
Or only trace what shadows show?
"One and Done"
I'm sure my little poems,
have no chance of getting
anything "Done".
In a World of "Seven"
thousand languages
I know "One".
But words, like whispers, shape the sky,
A single voice still learns to fly.
"Connection.?!"
We can only write,
what's in "our" Mind.
Yet, still take pleasure,
in what "others", Find.
And so, within each line we weave,
A stranger’s heart may still believe.
"We Knew, So Few"
Earth's history of humans,
spans ages,
Yet individually, we get,
so few pages.
In this time, so few, we
get to know.
The rest, just flakes,
in our blizzard, snow.
But every snowflake shapes the storm,
And words like these still keep us warm.
Denny, your ink flows like an old, wise river—
A current of time, of questions, of truth.
Each verse a footprint, fleeting yet firm,
In the endless dance of age and youth.
You write of past, of now, of fate,
Of fleeting moments, vast yet small—
Yet in your lines, we contemplate,
How one man’s words can touch us all.
Gratitude for the thoughts you share,
For echoes deep and questions rare.
Poetry may not fix the world,
But it lingers, a banner unfurled.
Thank you for the verses you gift,
A bridge of thought, a gentle lift.

Maturity is not something everyone can earn...
Nor is impossible to earn.
It doesn’t come with age or experience,
but draws its life
from realizations,
from pain,
from sacrifices,
from understanding,
from responsibilities,
from mistakes—
and many more.
A mature person never complains about life,
but finds ways to move forward in it.
A mature person doesn’t wait for magic or luck to happen,
but creates a path on their own.
A mature person doesn’t disconnect from society,
but knows how to survive within it.
A mature person isn’t perfect,
but strives to be imperfectly perfect.
A mature person isn’t just wise,
but a lifelong learner.
A mature person isn’t an atheist,
but one who knows the boundaries of faith and hope.
Being mature isn’t about being overly practical or speaking like an elder—
it’s a way of living happily,
knowing life’s truths.
