Simple Words From a Complex Mind

Simple words
from a complex mind.

Simple words that
seek to explain the
deepest thoughts
from the
deepest places
that could 
ever be 
explained
by these
simple words
in these 
simple lines.

Simple words
from a complex mind.

Simple words that
seek to encompass
all of space and time
The places where
we've come from
The things that 
we will find
These things that
simple words 
can't even begin
to explain 
or to define.

Simple words
from a complex mind.

Simple words that
seek to 
explain
the depth
of human emotion
The nature 
of true love
what true love
is all about
The workings
of one's 
heart.

Simple words
from a complex mind.

Simple words that 
are hard 
to define
Simple words that 
are hard 
to find
Simple words that
are hard 
to write
Simple words that
are always 
on my mind.

Simple words.

Simple words from
a complex mind.
