Appreciate simplicity


Having once lived through tumultuous times, 
We learn to appreciate boring: 
The simple pleasure of a gray-blue sky, 
Littered with fluffy clouds, 
Sharp verticals of tall grass, 
Not needing to be cut, 
Waves splashing on the rocks and beach, 
A seagull’s salt-scented cry 
 And the reassuring promise of a distant shore — 
All balm to the troubled soul.
