Simple And Complex Poem by Selina Gurgacz

what is going on
is hard to describe
as feelings are to simple
to describe something complex

so many things are simple
so many things are complex
so many things are both.

simple.
simple.
simple.

the animals,
both big and small,
are simple.

it is hard to define
what is simple
what is complex
what is both.

simple
simple
simple.

living in a world
that can not live
without
simple.
because
if there
was no
simple,
they would not live
to see another day.
won't live to
be able to live
another simple day,
that sometimes
has something
that is
complex,
which hides
around the corner,
always ready to strike,
the unlikely person,
that walks around that corner.

all life is simple.
all actions are always simple.
but sometimes have something complex over the top.

all life is simple,
and simple feelings,
can not describe
something complex.
