simplicity

a nip
of cold
touches
the nose
makes fingers frigid
yet
the heart
remains warm
by the beauty


a frozen pond
dusted with
a confection of snow
the surround sleeps
in quiet content

 

a quest
born
to seize
this day
and the next
and next
finding and following
the egress to ease

 

all resides in
………………….simplicity

 

watch your breath
crystalize
upon an exhale
as it drifts & dissipates
taking complexities along

 

breathe
all resides in
………………….simplicity

 

feel the cold
enter your chest
curing quandaries
with
an concentrated breath

 

breathe
in
………………….simplicity

 

in the distance
hear the crow’s caw
singing odin’s song

 

while the surround sleeps
in quiet content
take time to trek
in ………………….simplicity
