love, life
Dear simple things in life,
Life does not revolve around you, but you make life to live for, to cherish, to ignore. The simplicity of the term simple, expands beyond the dimensions of complexity and comprehension….
The dawn of leaves,
the petals in bloom
leading to rot,
the current of wind
binding nature to its current..
the momentary glimpses.
a change in the air
before its gone.
“Beautiful,” Arepo said
eyes dazzled to such simple things
light burning with hope
despite the inability for such fire
to continue his life
blood staining stones,
seeping into the earth
signaling the new passage of life
and death
“All of them. They were so beautiful.”
as the fields burned,
smoke blotted the earth
men trodded in the press and bloody
war raged on the earth
Arepo, the sower of dreams,
lay down in his humble temple,
head sheltered by the stones,
and returned to his god of Simplties
