Gary Fields Poet Pastoral

Just Looking

Shall the Wise-Man strive
          For perfection
Him for which there is none
            ------------
Oh', shall he seek simplicity
   For the wise-man knows
  That he is not perfect
            And Yet,
   Simplicity reaches'
The outer realm of reality
     Wisdom in the mind
       Of the Spirited
Simplicity in the heart
     Of the willful
