Live Simply Poem by Nyx C Styx

live simply
and find something to believe in
there is too much to choose from
the things to die for
and the things to live for

content yourself with simplicity
the pattering rain on the window sill
or when the clouds don't shield you from the view
of stars that light the nightly heavens
live simply
and love the small gentle things that make it
to your doorstep
somethings are too heavy to carry inside
and must be put down
for someone else to pick up
for someone else to love better
then you could

live simply
and don't cry at betrayals
of friends and those who could have been
your own fingers will betray you
to the dust
so live simply and know
black hair turns white
and then brown again when stained soil
nothing endures
laughter and tears
from the distance
sound the same
