Notes About The Poem

Simplicity - 1

Dewdrops sliding down 
A soft, bright petal
Nurturing and gentle
Like a loving teardrop 
Embracing my thoughts 

The whispering breeze
Calling a heart as it passes
Murmurs a psalm on the
Sunlit morning of a summer 
Day filled with joyful promise 

Starlight falling lightly
On a silent, moonlit night
As a ghostly song lingers
On the edge of darkness 
Calling to the fireflies in June 

Tangerine sunshine warming 
Naked thoughts and reassuring 
My hope of laughing colors 
In hues of amber, gold and crimson
Embracing my heart with a poem 

Radiant blushing roses gracing
A garden of my soul’s dreams 
Inspiring me to touch the foliage
With faithful, warm tenderness 
Reflecting all my best emotions 

Serenity that welcomes me into 
A sweet sincere prayer to the creator 
Of all this mystery we share as
Blessings from a loving and giving 
God who listens to our true plea

Rain showers that bring flavors of
Breathless inspiration and insight 
To season my heart with enlightenment 
Easy smiles and kindness that brings 
A healing and hope on the inside 

Music that rests on the soul, speaking 
To the silence with wise, warm words
Filled with thanksgiving and purpose 
Peace that leaves the spirit alive
With compassionate joy overflowing 

A twinkle in the soft eyes of one
Who is willing to live, love and give
From the depths of the heart
Kindness and grace, faith that weaves
Threads of light into spiritual awakening 

A little hand, so small and trusting 
Placed into my own with a knowing
That I will lead them across a road
Or in the direction of safety and hope
That is as secure and sure as the dawn 

Sighs soothing as the milky clouds 
Drifting on cerulean with miracles
Meeting of breath and moist air
Praising the way that awakens
The soul to this dance of the spirit 

Mornings with a hungry thought
Feelings that reveal a heart
Simple ways to embrace a soul
With thanksgiving, blessings 
Alive on the life filled with love
