Sweet Simplicity

you entice me with your beauty

 

To live in the darkness of complexity

stops my heart from beating

 

Child like smiles turn to

frowns

 

My door stays closed

as does my mind

when I am approached with

dark matter

 

I run and search for you

Sweet Simplicity 

 

For I know you will fill my soul

with tranquility

and keep my attention

on that which brings peace

 

Not on that which brings

anger and ugly possibilities

 

I stay true to you despite the pull

some have put on me

 

For

 

You entice me with your beauty

Sweet Simplicity

 

And 

 

For that I will always be...

eternally grateful.
