On the chalkboard of my heart.....

Scribbled over and over again on the chalkboard of my heart is the word simplicity..
As the dusty eraser lays on my rib cage the deep smears of chalk sink deep into the foam and reminds me that these syllables repeat over again like a re-run of Seinfeld...
First as a whisper, that stifles slowly as it only scratches the surface
Then in a still voice that traces over the faint whispers of yesterday..
The inflection infects my bones and gives way to words that echo in and out of my hollowed bones..
The syllables send shivers that travel up to where my vulnerable heart clings to security like a tree without roots during a gail...

If life was a math equation it would look a little something like this...

simplicity + patience * faith / trials + tribluations - perseverance = contentment

"let us live simply so that others may simply live"...
