Simple Things

Expanding an Idea into a Poem

I am moved by simple things
Blossoms on a rose
Yellow leaves in autumn
A sudden smile across the room
From a friend I barely know
Mostly by the gentle wind
Light flickering on water
Laughter anywhere
I am moved by simple things
Like every breath you take
And every day you breathe

I am moved by simple things
A blossoming rose
How the beauty of a sunset grows
Booping kittens on the nose
All that light in darkness shows

I am moved by simple things
Autumn leaves in setting sun
Finding friendship new begun
From sudden smiles and unseen fun
Laughter touching everyone

I am moved by simple things
A gentle wind on cloudy days
Light on water’s flickering wave
Memories to hold and save
Secrets taken to the grave

I am moved by simple things
Like every breath you take
And every day you breathe
