i love the simple joys

i love the simple joys

letting my toes
soak in the grass
and plasticine mud.

picking green beans
from their mother stalks
and getting spanish needles
all over me.

breathing in the rain,
exhaling softly the pain.
releasing the thunder from my soul.

glazing over the sunday paper
sipping black coffee
as the sun warms my back
in the lazy lazy sunday hours.

summersaults in the sea,
empowering chocolate teeth,
eating artichockes with green tea.

Oh, how do i love the simple joys.
