Simplicity, Jan 2006
(When trying to make a very difficult decision)

In the winter I thought
that summer would come
and bring me the simple
life I've seen in some

who make their decisions
with consumate ease
and float over trouble
like leaves on the breeze.

But now it is here
and still I don't find
that quietness of soul,
that stillness of mind.

God save me from this
tumultuous art
and grant me one spirit,
one vision, one heart.
