Simplicity.

Simplicity:

Beauty is all around us,
yet we do take it for granted.
So spare some time and just
have a look, the is so much to be found.

A lovely sunrise or sunset with
it's red and golden hues.
A morning chorus of birds bringing
such joy to the start of a new day.

The movement of leaves from
a cool gentle breeze.
Butterflies so colorful fluttering
from flower to flower.

Clear still moonlit nights with
a sky full of stars.
A warm spring wind brings the
smell of fresh bouquets.

Lovely bright bougainvillea
along the side of the house.
Long afternoons walking in woods
with the smell of fresh pines.

Waves lapping against the
shore so soothing to the mind.
Dogs prancing happily in the park
and the sounds of young children at play.

All you need to do is just take
your time to look around.
Nature's beauty is everywhere and
it's true beauty is in it's simplicity.
