Uncomplicated Things

Some things are uncomplicated:
Air, that we breathe,
Rain, that makes things grow,
Love, that makes us feel happy and safe,
Food, to nurture us,
Wildlands, so other species  can also live.

The complications, the difficulties, the impossibilities,
Are because we  humans think we need
So much more than we actually do.

  1. That's right, Sherry. Made just for us, those things. But we sure have messed them up. We should be more careful with them as they are delicate.
    Wonderful message. Thank you, I try.

  5. Oh, how true, Sherry!
    'The complications, the difficulties, the impossibilities,

  6. Your final stanza makes a very valid point, Sherry.

  7. I place the complication a beat earlier -- we think. But even that collective is a misnomer -- homo sapiens is a dominant tribe of too needy individuals. Thanks for singing of the much larger wider wilder more wonderful tribe outside our doors.

  8. I echo Brendan Sherry. As humans we think, but don't think...

  9. Indeed... it's very simple really. Our crave for more it's the complication.
