Thoughts Of Simplicity Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Thoughts Of Simplicity

Rating: 5.0


the tulips have grown
out of their own

the farmer's vessel was rown
not of its own

the seeds was sown
not of its own

the baby drinks milk
not of its own
but from mother's own

the lovely bird flies
not of its own
but by his wings

the ocean floods the land
not of its own
but from the storm behind

nothing does from itself
it's always from another part

but this simple verse is thought out
from my inside heart
