My Simplest Form
I am broken
that is my simplest form.
Not in shards,
but in folded faults
like paper creased too many times
it becomes soft,
almost sacred.
They called me whole
when I was quiet.
They mistook my silence
for resolution.
But silence
was just the breath I held
between scream
and surrender.
I walked the corridors of other people's love
like a thief in borrowed shoes,
returning everything
except myself.
I am the ink

THE SIMPLEST SOLUTION
Today’s blessing comes via Bob Marley
who, like me, believed sometimes the simplest solutions
to the problems of the world are before us…in plain sight:
The moment we realize we are
One love
One heart
and we can all get together
we will finally feel all right.

The Simplest Love Story
Some people say there are no simple love stories…
and plainly they have stated…
if it’s simple it must not be love
for love is complicated…
They sight example after example
and believe this with all certainty!
But there are others who look at love
and beg to disagree.
For them, love is simple..
It’s when they realize they’re no longer alone…
and when

The Simplest of Pleasures
The Simplest of Pleasure
The glorious big television
The cable box, dustless as can be be
Flanked by two flamess candles
Dancing ever so cheerfully
The mahogany table on which it sits
The flickering flamelike heater, right beneath it.
A cup of fresh coffee with a dollop of cream.
Making the experience heavenly

The Simplest of Equations
Make no mistake, women and men are different
but together there is a greater strength
Separated from each other-life tends to bend.
weakening wellbeing and peace of mind
There is a trend to homogenize
blend the genders into one
for the sake of P. C and equality
but equality has nothing to do with
what jewels are between the thighs.
it's a state

Seasons Simplest To Know
SIMPLEST to know
Spring beauty floral flowing
The steamy summer
The autumn leaves crinkle down
untouched pristine snow fall found
Snow ball fight and flight yes,
Suppressed now tired and lazed
Snow angels there's an angle
Heaps of snow on cars
Snow plow isn't plowing now
It was time to go
Inside for hot cocoa

The Simplest of Words
I could package it different,
I could present it complex,
—I could try to impress and deceive
But the message eternal,
and the one truly spoken,
—needs the simplest of words to conceive

The Simplest Choice
In the realm of hidden things;
contemplated revelations ring.
To bring the light; a hearts delight
and clear away, the darkest night.
Whispers from our unseen friends,
where wisdom's growing, till life ends.
The soul, it is a breath of God;
divinity comes, when towards heaven, we trod.
In dreams and meditation we can see,
the end of every

The Simplest of Things
Sometimes we overlook the simplest of things
God laid before our eyes
Like the beauty we see in all His birds
Or the majesty of the skies.
It’s the small things that surround us
That we never seem to see
Or the things that are big that we overlook
Like the tallness of a tree.
There’s a peaceful sound that calms our hearts
And

The Simplest Things That
The simplest things that bring a smile to my face
Hearing a new born cries
Seeing a father cut his first born child umbilical cord
Seeing a butterfly breaking out of their cocoon
Seeing ants work together
Seeing a child ride his/her bike for the first time
Seeing my child graduate from Kindergarten thereafter first grade & now out

The Simplest Joy
A treasure more precious
Than gems or gold,
And paid for by most
At any price,
What rejoices the heart
A hundredfold:
To see on a loved one’s
Lips a smile.

In the Simplest of Times
When does the most powerful moment of your life strike you?
It lands like a ton of bricks in the simplest of times.
It hits you not at that moment, but a moment much later.
True impact strikes so hard that it is only felt after the fact.
A calm after the storm.
The beauty can hardly be seen until

Write Me the Simplest Song
Write me the simplest song
and make your true words sound
like you were talking to me,
because it isn't easy to say
what one really feels inside;
find those words and capturate me!
Honesty is always the best part of the truth,
each feeling must find its worth...
and however silly or stupid it seems to you,
express it with the confidence of
