Premium Member Smiles For Simple Pleasures
In a busy world I don't take for granted simple pleasures Blooms, newly risen in Spring from bulbs planted last year Rummaging through my collection of keepsake treasures. My children saying those three special words I want to hear. I smile when I have the involuntary reaction to give one back to a stranger who has just offered a nod...

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...

Premium Member In simple words
Simple is the way to be free Know we are soul, not body-mind Leave all fears and desires behind Unshackle soul from our mind tree Thoughts bisect whilst heart unifies If heart’s quiescent, ego dies Make head and heart with love agree Resolve all conflicts in love’s womb Witness then our heart lotus bloom Be at peace, joyous and carefree For life’s merely a...

Premium Member An intellectual dresses a simple idea in the cloak of heavy and elaborate words
An intellectual dresses a simple idea in the cloak of heavy and elaborate words, Building castles from long, intricate sentences that rise toward the sky, While the poet, with eyes deepened in the mystery of the world, opens doors to truth, He takes the complexity of life and transforms it into a song of wind and light, Love becomes...

Premium Member When Life was Simple
When we lived beneath thatch-roofed houses, Curry simmered in pots, Flames flickered from firewood gathered From hills and thickets. When bullock carts creaked Under paddy loads, Harvests reaped from fertile fields, Bicycles spun on dusty roads. When sounds of hand-pounding paddy Echoed from homes everyday, Women weaving at fly- shuttle looms Sometimes till late night. And when caws of the crows And chirpings of tea cricket at...

Premium Member So spake simple Simon
Love alone heals soul’s wounds which our heart feels, dissolving all opposites in its womb, sensing God in all forms, His light reveals, as cravings of lower mind we exhume, that throb of bliss magnetism may resume. Recognising we are spirit, not form, it is natural with love to conform, breath by breath feeling the touch of God’s hand, tranquil and at peace,...
