Peace in simplicity
There's peace in simplicity. Embrace it.
Peace in simplicity

There's peace in simplicity
Look around; feel calm and whole
The less things you own
The less stress on your soul
People forget about this
When they chase material things
But once you leave this mortal coil
It's mostly stressful for the remaining beings
Those loved ones who have to navigate
The rooms filled with (mostly) useless stuff
Things you never worked through
Cluttering up space, collecting dust
And as each person passes on
Another takes on the mantle of stress
Why not give it away in good time?
Make the less fortunate feel blessed?
The things you own and accumulate
Bear no reflection on your worth
They merely become stagnant energy
Stopping you from being free on earth
I have met people who own almost nothing
They have peace in this simplicity
They have freedom to roam and explore
Getting in touch with their divinity
This doesn't mean we don't want beauty
Or aesthetic appeal in our lives
It merely means that we focus on the core things
That create a home and hearth that thrives
Because when we focus on what matters
Like love and hugs and kindness
We find the greatest peace on earth
The connections that truly bind us
