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 simplicityThere'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...

In simple wordsSimple 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...

An intellectual dresses a simple idea in the cloak of heavy and elaborate wordsAn 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...

Elegant Simplicity of Klein DesignA vase,
simple, elegant
smooth symmetrical,
with only one side, surface
no inside nor outside, only in between
a narrow neck extends up from the bulb
twists back on itself to meld back into the vessel
with no perceptible seam, join or mark at the intersection
moving over its surface tracing, seemingly left and right, is not feasible
the vase, no flower bears,...

When Life was SimpleWhen 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...

So spake simple SimonLove 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,...

or suffocate in its

Time to see her.
At 2:48pm.
Wake up (4:00).
Constant strutting.
Nails chewed.
Overthinking.
Stress-eating.
2 hour shower.
