Poem: The Simple

"The simple life."
What is that?
So many have asked.
Who finds the answer?
Only those willing to give...
Give what?
The next question that tugs at the heart.
"Well what do you seek?" (...more questions to follow.)
And follow we must.
For the spirit leads the way.
Quiet thoughts and moments to guide us each day.
Do we listen?
Do we feel?
Do we use higher thought...to rise above our own judgments and worldly things of naught?
So much good to see and learn.
But are there questions found therein?
Is My journey my question...
Where do I begin?
"The simple."
Keep looking...and you'll find what you seek
Less is more.
Less will make you meek.
Meekness is strength and power -- it's real.
"The simple" is truth.
Truth you can feel:
True to yourself
And to others
And to God
"The simple" keeps simple-ing.
Until all you need is the rod.
Hold fast to "the simple"
Keep asking it's name.
The simple. The true. Our savior.
(All one and the same)
