Complicated Simplicity...

how is it that seeking simplicity

can be so complicated?

wanting tranquility, stability and harmony

no struggles

no turmoil

no worries

how trying to keep life simple

can be such a difficult journey

but well worth it in the end

Pass through...

The brightness shines right at me

Hitting my face with warmth

And moistening my eyes with tears

Gloom shadows surround this light

But no amount of darkness can stop these rays

For there is always a way in

And always a way out

For this light to pass through

These Walls...

get knocked down from time to time

but are rebuilt stronger and thicker each time

difficult to penetrate

difficult to tear down

soon they become opaque, no way of seeing through

until

one day, a new hammer strikes

and the walls come shattering down

and this time

it may be that the walls never need to be rebuilt again
