Giving

simplicity dwells
within complication
it’s separating
the yoke from the white

a path is
a straight destination
where wrong
is known from the right

all that was lost
can be found
it’s just remembering
where it was left

discovering when done right
the end is quite profound
giving without guilt
is never considered a theft

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)  Shakespeare

from the heart. . . which is where all good things are given. . .

I LOVE this! Wonderful message..brilliantly written...and the rhyme/meter flows excellently. I'm bookmarking this one  

By the way, I've been meaning to tell you for awhile now, I really like your picture... very artistic and it seems to capture you (the "you" in your writings) well. That probably doesn't make sense lol but coming from am amateur photography buff, your pic is "appropriate"  

     Write on!     - Jeff
