Life Is Not Complicated

Softer than snow flurries
                                       Slicker than cigarette smoke
                                       Sizzling than bouncy bubbles in an open soda can
                                       Ticklish like a patient soul after a rouch day
                                        Sweeter like a loving tongue 
                                        Curious like a dog's muzzle sniffing and living
                                        Foggy like a neglected sleep
                                        Love like cold and grey
                                        Introverted like a deck of cards
Playdough like mud, like words in poetry, like soles and souls of poetry.

Life is not complicated But we manage to complicate it when knowledge is missing! Excellent writing presenting life as it should be. What a lovely depiction, dear Njeri! Pure Joy!
