Simple

There is something simpler in life
Always there is… only to be
As often as we intend to strive
As often we forget what there is to see

Simple is nerving and uncertain
Isn’t complication uncertain as before?
Life’s a full circle yet we do not return
And with so much… have we learn to restore?

And earnestly I wanted to reset myself
Only to discover I haven’t a default
Having learnt to override that withheld
Did simplicity just become complicated for result?

How did I forget something so simple?
And why the need to remember an ever were?
When its choices thinkable to dribble
Did I only see what promises to be unsure?

There is something complex in life
Always there is … I shall see
As often as I live to strive
As often we forget simplicity to be
