Be As You Are
From the daily, humdrum mindlessness
some have justly wrestled free
indulging only in temperateness
in existences free of undue stress
exuding predominant peacefulness
they’re forever all at sea
To join the ranks of unburdened health
there is no nominal fee
nor a prerequisite to acquire wealth
the only requirement: be yourself
and play out the hand you have been dealt
aiming for tranquility
This should come as no revelation,
by letting the organic flow,
you avoid needless ideation
yet bring crisp concepts into creation
and find the placid destination
it’s a privilege to know
About this poem
Simple gifts can be won without overcomplicating things.
