Simplifying Dreams Poem by Michael Walkerjohn

Characters of life
provide a mean narration
of one's perceptions

you dream of vast wealth
testing simplification
when all else has failed

you choose a self-love
neglecting further purpose
and know nothing else

perhaps study trees
how each is truly nourished
through both root and leaf

come to comprehend
character is mind to hand
narrating a theme

testing perceptions
against the wealth of purpose
simplifying dreams
