I am simplicity… in measured depths of complexity I wonder why we are all here I hear my past haunting me through gauzy veils of eternity I see a tender – falling tear I want to love sincerely I am simplicity… in measured depths of complexity I pretend life doesn’t scare me tho’ it petrifies the core of me I feel it spinning out of control I touch my future warily in dreams of what I want to be I worry about my family goals I cry tears imaginary I am simplicity… in measured depths of complexity I understand seasons changing ever constant rearranging I say what’s on my mind I dream it’s him I’m holding within my weary arms enfolding I try to be honest and kind I hope for forever – endearing I am simplicity… in measured depths of complexity May I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |

Nicole, you are amazing. The first line is so "YOU"... and the rest of the poem compliments beautifully. I love the way you integrated the rhyme here. Challenge well met, Indeed, my dear. Michael |

This is beautiful. . . I really like the first line. . . and this one: "I dream it’s him I’m holding within my weary arms enfolding" I feel that we all dream that. . .

An enigma and paradox you are, my friend, simple and complex. I know we've had our rough spots, and we have a knack for working each other's nerves, but I still, and always will, consider you a friend. Thank you for answering this challenge in such a skillful manner. Wonderful job.  Alicat |

I love the honesty and fragileness of it. something that I find in all your poetry. beautiful work here. ~as always, Take Care,JM~ -------------- I know it's been a long road To get these towns behind me and I Will gladly reap what we may sow-- I am there for you ... and you're there for me ... Are you waiting for Heart in hand Woman and man See me where I stand I am Heart Heart in hand ~vertical horizon~ |
