Simple Truths

We are in constant search of their kind

In our everyday travels we find

~

A measure, a notion to confine

Our basic need to again define

~

Those simple truths, the layers we thought

That help us ascertain who we are we’re naught

~

A given moment of clarity in a stroll

Allows us to redefine who we are by role

~

Life is a stage as Shakespeare calls it

Every day we are searching to be part fit

~

When really if we relax our mind

We might once again come to find

~

The simple truths are right before our eyes

Standing elegant laughing aloud as we cry

~

Out-loud with frustration souls having succeeded

In again and again crawling where we are needed

~

Yet even as we stand alone in eloquent fashion

Are not we still fighting to be guided by notion

~

We are developed, designed, desired

By mankind a sort of wondrous kind sired

~

A spoken wisdom that only admired again

May remind our selves of a time we began

~

To mellow our souls without leading constant battle

To designate the will of our own constrained saddle

~

Indeed, it may very well turn to a quiet reality

That cast a spell of ridicule upon our sanity

~

For isn’t it then quite simply the discovered truth

That the human condition when in pause feels youth

~

The elder passage of time that may recognize august

Again asked to have patience and simply adjust
