Love Really is Simple

by William S Cottringer — Read all 146 poems by William S Cottringer

What we want most is usually what we do least--Appreciate beauty, look for the truth and love and be loved.

Sunday, August 10, 2008

 

Life Really Is Simple
 
Life really is simple;
All you have to do,
Is do what matters most—
Using your freedom to
Appreciate beauty,
Look for the truth,
And Love and be loved.
Where do fear,
Violence and all
The hurt come from?
Probably from lack
Of freedom to enjoy
Love, beauty and truth.

A wise man once said that heaven is within you. Speaking for myself, I also yearn for knowledge. Mixed with love, it becomes wisdom.
