Hurray for simplicity! Funny how it's sometimes easier to be complicated than simple.

G… The human race thinks they have all the answers. When we realize how much we dont know…that we dont even know… that is the beginning of humility. Poetry is an art not a religion , and thinking we have a corner on truth or part of the heavenly host! Call the psychiatrist. I like simple poetry, pangie

We overthink and often complicate something of pure wonder, something so profound as hearts been touched by poetry for example, is made to sound meaningless. Very cleverly explained Gershon. However, I would like to think that whoever submits such poetry, and I read it, means it. hugs Jennifer.

I have no memory of ever seeing/reading that version of profound. May have no memory of it tomorrow. I'm faving this, it is a truth so 'awesomely' expressed, Gershon - I love it ... CayCay

How fun, our God, who gifts us simple statings that are so profound! Fools scratch their heads…yup, sometimes that’s us…but oh the sunshine when the brilliant poem pops…

well said, sir! Your poem is the perfect example of profundity simplified. Yellow Rose
