To Live Simply
Quietly, I chew a slice of an orange,
Sticky and wet, but so exquisite.
Quite often I draw vivid inspiration
From this little well actually a glass.
Silently, I sip until my tongue is drenched,
All while I witness birdies sit upon branches.
Slowly I tear away the violet grapes,
Staring at the shimmery slices on my dish.
Noisily, I peel away fruity flesh with my teeth,
Feeling the splendid, tender juices tickle me.
Pleasurably, I carry on devouring these treats,
Such enjoyment indeed has never been so satisfying.
Peacefully, I allow myself such indulgence,
As I begin pondering verses for poems soon to be.
Oh, yes, this is what it means to live simply,
So darlings, see, this is why life is so lovely.
