I Taught Myself To Live Simply Poem by Anna Akhmatova
I Taught Myself To Live Simply
I taught myself to live simply and wisely,
to look at the sky and pray to God,
and to wander long before evening
to tire my superfluous worries.
When the burdocks rustle in the ravine
and the yellow-red rowanberry cluster droops
I compose happy verses
about life's decay, decay and beauty.
I come back. The fluffy cat
licks my palm, purrs so sweetly
and the fire flares bright
on the saw-mill turret by the lake.
Only the cry of a stork landing on the roof
occasionally breaks the silence.
If you knock on my door
I may not even hear.
Is living simply correct? Well, yes it is, especially with our present over crowdedness. People must learn to please oneself with less.
Her life was as impressing as all her poems had done to me. Reading the poems of AA is starting a journey to never end
This beautiful poem of the great Russian Poetess starts with: I taught myself to live simply and wisely, to look at the sky and pray to God, . How simple are rhe words, but more lovelier the poem shall be. I have read time and again, but I am still hungry for her poems.
Few simply things. Things may appear closer on the rear View mirror.
