Simply Me
I find the simple pleasures in life
To be the most beautiful
They make me feel...
Whole again..
Complete
They touch my soul
And make her sing
In ways those contrived things never can..
The way the grass dances in a light summer breeze
The way the sun cuts through gray clouds
And,
Hits the leaves on the trees
Making them glow from within...
This beautiful, sliver, peaceful, green
I love seeing bluebirds, hummingbirds, and dragonflies
Flying about with this freedom I long to have and feel
The woods are so inviting
To go exploring, getting lost in mossy green things
Come up unexpectedly on a clear blue stream
To lie down in some grassy place and look up at the sky
To see the starts at night
And forget the science
Just enjoy being insignificant in this universe
Appreciate their brilliance in the velvet night sky
Allow them to be something magical..
I long for feeling..
Something
That peacefulness that comes from an inner satisfaction
No longer having to deal with the hum drum of life
No longer worrying about...
Whatever it is that I'm currently mulling over in my mind
I live to live a simple life
Simple pleasures
Fresh cut wild flowers
The smell of newly laundered linen sheets
Dancing to Sinatra as I cook my evening meal..
Not having to wake up early in the morning
Enjoying the perfect cup of creamy sweet coffee
Indulging in the best vanilla ice cream hot fudge sundae
That wonderful glass of wine
To laugh with true friends
I don't need many
As long as they are real
Perhaps I ask for too much
Asking for such a simple existence
Contrived things are so much easier to come by...
Maybe I long for simpler times
Only found in history books or fairy tales
But,
What does an old soul do
