Simple stuff
We revel in the simple
We salute the word ‘enough’
For joy is found in free things
Not in gold or sparkly stuff.
We can mine some goodness
In the bottom of our garden
Warmth can be found sunny corners
More effective than drafty corridors
Our sights are focused on the present
For the future looks compromised
Plans and projects are abandoned
For the sweetness of the here and now.
We can stop and stare at life
We can embrace the very now
We will kiss and hug the moment
We will milk the present somehow.
Great people speak of decades
To change our lives and save the world
But if like me you don’t believe
The well intentioned commentary.
To stoop beneath the gates of history
To slip outside the wedding tent now free
To forge a path less traveled and less worn
Perchance to meet a pilgrim on the road.
We mark the end of Quaker Corner
As we reach the end of Covid road
Our focus now on golden spires
As Ukraine strikes out for one and all.
Now it’s time to change the guard
For every chapter must have its close
And so a new one opens
Un hora menos now takes over.
Hasta La vista!
29th April 2022.
