Best Simplicity Poems

Small, simple flowers bright as can be
Weaving in and out of the breeze
Turning a moment into full simplicity
As I walk under the cover of green trees

I realize, you only have to stop to look
Some things in life are clear, simple, right
Just as the small flowers or the clear brook
Quiet simplicity, will bring answers to light

You were born in a specialist clinic
I was born at the front door of my house
we both came into this world and survived.
You’ve been eating foreign cuisines and expensive delicacies
I’ve been taking porridge and traditional soups
we both have grown and are a significant part of the society.

You go to school in Jeeps and exotic vehicles

Whispered words
Soothing poetry in your ear
Candlelit evening fading
Into Red Wine dreams
Words that touch the soul
Holding hands
Forever
A simple kiss
As we gaze upon the wilted rose...

The simplicity of life
Transparent as black glass
Bordering my ever contemplating mind
And the annoyingly optimistic
High pitched
And easily recognizable
Music of the Beatles
Struggles to overcome 
my black soul
And forces the image of Paul and John
As they point in my direction
And shout for all to hear
And all to know
That I'm the real nowhere man
Making all my nowhere plans
For nobody
Just...

Waking every day in this place
so full of grace
and purity
such true beauty

I see things in a peaceful way
touching each day
always with love
sent from above

And as I fall asleep at night
my dreams take flight
and in my heart
hope won't depart

Water, water, rippling down my morning shower,
Just the right temp – a pleasing thing.
The snore of a little dog to comfort
During a midnight bad dream.
	Simple happenings.

The smell of coffee, the pop of toast;
Classic songs on the radio;
A neighbor’s “hi”, dew on my face;
A creaking door, loving this old place.
	Simple sounds.

A cloud forming the face of...

My heart rejoices at the smallest of things
The dew leaving its kiss on a blushing rose
Warm gentle breeze as the windchime rings 
The quenching rain while lush harvest grows
The changing colors of an autumn palette
Cheerful interplay of sunrays and cloudlet
Four seasons the work of an omniscient artist
To me the most divine of things are the...

Then, Why?

With life so painful, 
Then...then
Say, why we pass by here?
Because...notice!
There are those moments,
Perhaps even often 
When we are caught
Upon breaths of passing simplicity,
Which raise full years
To joy!

How ironic it was, today you see
sitting here sipping my tea.
I didn't know what to think or do 
then that song came on that reminds me of you.
It gave me an energy, reminding me
we breathe the same air under the same sky
and don't ask me why, but it was just enough
to lift me above this...

Gentle gratitude flavors life with heartfelt happiness ~ Quote by the Poet



The farm was thriving with cows, horses and chickens
Filling hearts with rewarding traditions
Whispers of visions sent on winds
Resonating stillness
Gentle comforts from our adoring Creator
Blessing our spirits with hope, faith and love

Soothing, intimate joy sent from the Lord above
Pleasure sent down by One who is...

fluid arc,

   gurgling of hose,

giggling of little girls, with long hair.

     strawberry scent dizzies the air -

       suds are everywhere.

            waterfall rainbow rinses

youths cinnamon strands,

strands of pearls
falling gracefully 
where they may
