Captured - a millisecond - a millennium

Words

Typed out on a screen 

Meant to convey

A moment in time 

I grabbed your hand 

And together we walked with excitement 

To find a treasure 

Aware of the newness 

Of each other 

Bumping into each other 

Finding ways to connect 

The memory fresh

Of your kiss

Time 

Has captured that moment 

It lives still 

On my lips 

Imprinted 

Deep in my soul 

That moment lives

As it always will

Simplicity

 The purpose of our lives is never clear

A long time ago

Bonds formed an experiment that we know as, humanity

I've thought how, possibly, our ancestors rested more than we do

If that were so, we would have died out

A long time ago

Though there's a difference between burning out and working hard

We know they strove to improve things

Thought the definition of what those things are has changed

That urge, to better ourselves, has always been there

and many tales warned against laziness, greed and corruption

It is not hard to find examples of exploitation throughout history

humanity has always been, complex

Ancient texts confirm this

and yet we ask, why we are here, what is the point?

It has always been simple, to those who value people over power

Authenticity, though a buzz word now, is still a concept I believe in

To find simple things, that bring me joy

To have the time to enjoy them

and a heart open 

though there's reason for it to be closed

This is the essence of life

Simplicity

and life go hand in hand
