Peace in simplicity

There's peace in simplicity. Embrace it.

Peace in simplicity 
By Michelle Morris 
18/05/2025

There's peace in simplicity 
Look around; feel calm and whole
The less things you own
The less stress on your soul 

People forget about this
When they chase material things 
But once you leave this mortal coil
It's mostly stressful for the remaining beings 

Those loved ones who have to navigate 
The rooms filled with (mostly) useless stuff 
Things you never worked through 
Cluttering up space, collecting dust 

And as each person passes on
Another takes on the mantle of stress 
Why not give it away in good time?
Make the less fortunate feel blessed?

The things you own and accumulate
Bear no reflection on your worth 
They merely become stagnant energy 
Stopping you from being free on earth

I have met people who own almost nothing 
They have peace in this simplicity 
They have freedom to roam and explore
Getting in touch with their divinity 

This doesn't mean we don't want beauty 
Or aesthetic appeal in our lives 
It merely means that we focus on the core things 
That create a home and hearth that thrives

Because when we focus on what matters 
Like love and hugs and kindness 
We find the greatest peace on earth
The connections that truly bind us
