Simplicity

Easy is a trick trap door
That sinks to shadows dark and deep.
And though it may seem effortless
It makes a promise hard to keep.

To be the sum of many parts
And know the answer plain and pure
The keeper fills his goblet with
Enlightenment to long endure.

Thus, the gift of foresight lends itself
To shrewd sagacity and
Shreds the bolts of burly cloth
To threads of soft simplicity.

Brave to dwell in austere comfort
Cloaked in spartan modesty,
Dancing nigh to innocence,
Sustained by practicality.

Unpretentious,
Minimal,
Void of complicated toil,
Feeds the need to simplify,
To sow and grow
In fertile soil.
