Less is Good

In all fairness to you,
This sadness doesn’t come from you,
It lives inside of me,
Some days a kind word drives it away,
Some nights the cool wind brushes away the lone tear,
When I feel alone,

I speak to you,
Not you, you,
But the you who lives beyond...
I make my little world,
Put the flowers in the vase,
Open the window; check my reflection in the glass,
Mostly it’s all right when I don’t hear your footsteps,
I have learnt to live with less,
I have learnt that less is good,
Less makes me see,
The less I have, the less anyone can take from me…
