I do not use big words.

I like them

but doubt their relevance.

Instead I ask simple questions

like why and how;

I seek simple answers like be here now.

I think simple thoughts,

tell simple stories,

set simple goals like love

not glory.

I understand things

in a simple way

and use simple words

to communicate:

I am the potter

and the clay

and I am also their dusty floor.

Simple me,

just a vessel.

Within me,

the whole world.
