Simple Pleasures…

Living in the richness of the moment
Obvious ridiculously-unknown bliss
Vulnerable comfort in no-security
Evolves solely in pure alchemy

Mighty in theory but small in appearance
Overnight success vs institutional relic
Nurtured fruit facilitating the masses
Exists for all but exclusive in access
Youth inspired maturity favoured

Loving frequency accessible to all
Antagonist to the seriousness
Unapologetic and infectious
Grins in the face of despair
Has multiple outcomes
Transcends rationale
Erratic and unique
Raising brows of the un-knowing

Absence of all thought
Nuanced meanings
Deciding factor for some

Solvent and salve
Euphoric ascension
X marks the spot

Question…What do the little things mean to you?
