Pretty Distractions
Longing for a new landscape within and without
Apr 29, 2025
I desire a simple life, yet
I have a rather complicated one.
All the stuff I have
requires more stuff
and that stuff
needs to be acquired, maintained, and contained,
used, cared for, and put away again,
creating a need
for endless decisions to be made.
And so I find
my mind in pieces,
my spirit worn thin.
The complex life distracts
and destroys the soul
and
the dreams of the soul.
When will I walk
the walk
instead of talking
the talk?
Come, Fresh Wind,
sweep through this cluttered mind.
Reshape this landscape
with my efforts
and your grace.
