Simplicity

Simplicity
Is everything
It is a key
To open the door
Perception
Is a window
On everything
It is a way
To appreciate
The meaning of
Simple things
Without overly
Compromising
Or means testing
Too much
Unnecessary complication
Stifles the purity
Of an emotion
Break it down
Into small pieces
Feed the birds
With corn seed
Anything else
Would be an elaboration
Of little consequence
The message is clear
Simple things
Can mean a lot
Which is in itself
A complex concept
To understand
Without straying
Into the trap
Of rhetorical
Statements
Containing
Allegorical
Intellectualisation
Designed to exclude
The lay person
From the gift
Of a mindful
Pursuit
Of simple things.
