Just Right
Just to lie on beach
sand fingers buried
in the warm grains
just to lie on thick grass
just to lie on thick grass
and inhale the scent
just to feel the heaviness
just to feel the heaviness
and tiredness and know
I have come to the right place
not black or white
but simple
not black or white
but simple

Thank you, Immanuel, for your sincere poem, a wake-up call to see life in perspective and enjoy the simple things in life. Great write.
