A DROP OF WATER

A DROP OF WATER 

A drop of water.
A drop of nature.
A drop of life.

Clear.
Yet complicated.
Light.
Yet detailed.

Hanging.
By a thread.
Enticing.
To the eye.

So is nature.
So is life.

BEAUTY IN THE SIMPLE

pagewoman

Beauty in the simple.

The flow of a falling vine.

The perfection of a rose.

Enough to brighten a day.

Fill you with its scent.

Entice you with its hue.

Fill you with serenity.

WE WALK ALONE

karl-shakur

We walk alone

through the cold and rain.

We carry our troubles

on our weary backs.

The load gets heavier

each and every year.

We grow older

but not always wiser.

When will life become simpler?

When will the load lighten?

Not in this lifetime.

Maybe in the next.

A SNOWY DAY

Paradise is within our grasp.
Within our environment.
Within our homes.
We just have to stop,
watch, and listen.
It could be as simple
as a snowy day.
Or as complex as
a large family.
Enjoy the happy season.
Have fun in the snow.
Appreciate your family.
Paradise is within our grasp.

THE SIMPLE LIFE

Life could be so simple.
So pure.
The sun on your face.
The sand between your toes.
The cries of sea gulls.
The smell of salt water.
What else could be needed?

THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW

flowersgardenlove:


What if our paths in life were obvious?
Set up before us.
Clearly outlined.
No branches.
No deviations.
Just the straight and narrow.
Would life be simpler?
Would life be easier?
Or would it be boring?
Too obvious.
Too narrow.
Too defined.
No choices.
No chances.
No deviations.
Definitely boring. 

BEFORE

The skyline was beautiful before.
Hope was present before.
Brotherhood was keenly felt before.
Life was pure and simple.
Death wasn’t an everyday concern.
Before.

ONCE IS ENOUGH

This is what life is all about.
The simple.
The pure.
The first time.
Done once.
And done the right way.

THE MAJESTY OF NATURE

The majesty of a thunderstorm.
It could be destructive.
It could also be beautiful.
Sit back and watch.
But be careful to watch from a safe distance.

Winter Magic (by DreamValley)

Nature brings us sweet magic everyday.
Everyday of our lives we can see, hear,
and smell this magic.
We just need to open our eyes, hearts, and minds.

So simple.
So perfect.
So artistic.
The beauty of nature.

• 

Beauty can be found everywhere.
Even on dirty, city streets.
All you need is your imagination
and anything can be accomplished.

BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL

flowersgardenlove:

So bright and cheerful.
A beautiful sight to welcome you home.
We all could use something to cheer us up.
Sometimes it could be as simple as a garden.

THE SIMPLE LIFE

Life can be simple.
It doesn’t have to be dramatic
or catastrophic.
We don’t need elaborate buildings or
extensive displays of fireworks.
Beauty can be found everyday
in the world around us.

WEB OF LIES AND DECEIT

You’re caught in a web.
A web of lies and deceit.
Once you begin to lie,
the lies multiply until you’re in so deep
that you can’t extricate yourself.
Being honest is much easier and simpler.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING MR. FOX?

Fantastic Mr. Fox Doesn’t Feel So Fantastic

What might he be pondering?
Did he lose a friend?
Is he sad because he’s alone?
Do you ever want to be inside
an animal’s head to hear his thoughts?
Do you think they might be
similar to our thoughts?
They might be.
All we know is that he isn’t planning
on revenge.
Animals’ thoughts are less calculating
and purer than ours.
So what are you thinking Mr. Fox?

HUMAN NATURE

Why make something simple
as stairs into a complicated statue?
Why create a staircase with twenty steps
when it only requires four steps?
As human beings we love to complicate
everything around us.
We search for the complex solution when
the simple answer is staring us right in the face.
Simple can be just as elegant and rewarding.

THE SIMPLE LIFE

roadlessco:

Life could be simple.
We don’t need all the fancy
trappings that come with our
hectic lives.
Imagine living by the ocean
with endless views of the sky and water.
A boat to take us where we need to go.
The cry of the seagull ringing in our ears.
No big houses with empty rooms
or over-sized electronic devices.
Peace and quiet will soothe our nerves.
We would be able to write and create
to our heart’s desire.
We would feel fulfilled.
No worries about keeping up with the neighbors
for our neighbors will have what we have:
A comfortable home with free time to
enjoy life for the first time.

WORK OF ART

blackoutraven:

WHAT’S IN A DROP OF WATER?
IT MAY LOOK CLEAR AND EMPTY,
BUT IT CARRIES
ORGANISMS OR ALGAE.
IT MIGHT LOOK SIMPLE BUT IT’S COMPLEX.
NONE OF NATURE’S CREATIONS SHOULD
EVER BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED.
EACH CREATION IS A UNIQUE
WORK OF ART OF ITS OWN.

ROYAL BEAUTY

 

 

Beautiful picture.
So regal and proud.
A perfect specimen of nature.

LIFE

Life can be simple.
Life can be complex.
Life is what we make of it.

SIMPLE

So simple.
So pretty.
So perfect.
That is nature.
