Simplicity Why should I reach for the stars? When I prefer to admire them from afar. Too close and they'd burn too bright. Surrounded by darkness they decorate the night. Like pearls sliding off a thread. A million sparkles of yellow, blue, and red I do not desire the depths of the ocean to reach, When my soul is at rest upon the beach. With sand and shells and lapping waves A fragrant breeze to warm my days. A simple life is all I crave. To live at peace is to be brave © Sharon L Letson 2023.
