Daddy worked the land
To put food in our hand
He worked in the mill
To pay our monthly bills
Lived to be 97 years old
A simple life lived not so bold
Plants, trees and flowers
Design the wind that causes the dance
Where does it start?
Where does it end?
It doesn’t, it moves from beach to branch
From mountain to lake, from
Flower pedals to a blade of grass
It will carry a new seed of life
To birth a new tree, a flower or a plant
Each changing the direction of the wind dance

How does this writing make you feel?
Water equals life.
My greatest fear is drowning.
But, in it I breathe.
SIMPLICITY
When little things were very small
And no-one worried much at all
The world was wide and very kind
And no-one ever got behind
And no-one had a useless life
And no-one struggled to survive
When school and work were always done
With laughter in the dancing sun
No complicated times to keep
No nights of tossy turny sleep
The world was kind and wide and good
No shortage anywhere of food
And soft the rain on God’s good earth
And black and white the same were worth
The sea was clean the air was clear
Uncluttered skies from far to near
In field and garden,
Home and hill
Those little things are precious still.
John Puckett
A simple random act of kindness
Can go a long, long way ...
It was just the other day
A woman kissed me on the cheek.
She had totally caught me
By surprise.
Who would kiss this freak.
But then the tears
Began to flow.
My knees, they felt so weak.
I had almost forgotten that sensation.
What that even felt like.
“Bless you, for that holy kiss”
Was all that I could utter.
She smiled.
And behind my wet face
I smiled back
For it had been years and years
Since I felt like that.
Now reminiscing in my thoughts
I can only think ...
Thank you, thank you for that.
For in that single moment,
That simple spontaneity of sprite
You restored my faith
Gave me new hope
And most certainly,
Saved my life.
Which is why I just had to share ...
That a simple random act of kindness
Really can go a long, long way.
don't ask much
just want a
simple life
live and love
completely
day and night
don't want to
worry 'bout
tomorrow
If You Want To
Understand People:
Read All Their Thoughts
Down To The End.
All To All Doubts,
Challenged Throughout,
Spun, Spinning Down
While It Spins...
HEY! WHERE'D YOU GO!
If You See That,
THEN
That's What It Means.

I can be a headache. A match lit at 1,000 degrees.
I'm sorry I never meant you any harm.
Even if I inflicted pain and made you bleed.
Allow me to minister the band-aid to your arm.
I believed in you to perform all of your glories
We all as people have dreams within
It sucks that this world also revolves around worries
Can the riches of life in people's smile begin with no end?
I believe in you and me.
Even when I say I don't.
I believe a king can be a king.
But I can't only believe if you won't.
We have wisdom, we have heart, and values that shower pearls
We have chances after chances that we don't take in this world.
We trust, we have betrayal, we have misery, love, and pain.
We have rain the can drop to see that everyone in their own way could reign.
simple truths ~ let us list them out
if heart’s quiescent, mind is still
in staid silence, voids within fill
let not fears and dark desires grout
know this: we are not body-mind
leave imagined knowing behind
God dwells in our heart, have no doubt
He is felt as bliss magnetism
wisdom transcending every ism
to find Him, let seeds of love sprout
remaining at all times bliss rife
recognising transience of life
hold firm faith in monk-mode devout
breath by breath, let go of ego
at peace in the boat, God does row
simple truths ~ let us list them out
let not fears and dark desires grout
God dwells in our heart, have no doubt
to find Him, let seeds of love sprout
hold firm faith in monk-mode devout
Simple Poetry
Love of nature
Through flowing rivers
Trees planted
Seeds watered granted
Humble beginnings
Sometimes clouds follow me
In the sky, only breathtaking
A peaceful place with no complaining
Turn off the noise
Small things matter most
Clothes, a roof over your head,
And food on the table
Keep life simple
No electronic devices
Just outside nature
The wind passes me by
As one, you and I
Breathe in fresh crisp air
Live in solitude
In the middle of nowhere
Through green prairies
Fragrances and beauty
With soul searching
A Simple Poem
Just the two of us
Room to grow
Early morning rise
Wake up to the aroma of coffee shine
Finding Joy
I find joy
in simple
things of life
new mornings
writing poems
singing songs
I don’t need
fancy toys
nor much wealth
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 the flight of a butterfly, and pain a late autumn rain,
In an uninterrupted flow of thoughts, where words dance freely,
Poetry does not fear simplicity, for within it lies the depth of the world,
Touching hearts through a metaphor that shines brighter than a speech.
In the silence of the night, the verses find their echo in the souls of those who listen,
The poet embraces mystery, turning it into a palpable truth,
While the intellectual sometimes gets lost in the maze of complicated reasoning,
Yet in both flows the same desire to understand the universe around,
To find hidden beauty in details, meaning in every flicker of time.
Words, be they heavy or light, always seek their place in open hearts,
Where truth can be whispered or shouted in mountain echoes,
And thus, in the simplicity of verse, we find ourselves, without limits.
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 dusk heard.
Then we helped one another -
Life was simple,self reliant,and beautiful.
If just a hello is all you can say
To brighten what might be someone’s bad day,
Then that’s what you do. You say a hello.
And give what you can that all men might grow.
If one little smile is all you can give,
To make one life a bit better to live,
What else can you do but give them a smile,
When such a small thing might comfort awhile?
All you might meet in one typical day…
All of those people you might pass on by…
All you might touch as you walk on your way…
Do they think of you? Do they wonder why?
A simple hello. The least you can do.
It might one day make its way back to you.
Scattered buttons on the floor
A cat named Buttons dying at my door
I think of what a button can do
Oh, Buttons the Cat, how I loved you
A button gone, my shirt askew
My life depends on buttons new
