Less

I have finally learned 
the lesson of less
Less is far better 
than more ever is
Less is a blessing 
it forces one to 
be simpler to appreciate 
and to be kind 
Less is what I 
imagine Heaven to be 
A place of snowfall
of silence of calm 
of sunshine and rain 
of humanity and mindfulness 
I have lived through 
the lesson of more
More always wants more 
more is a hellscape
an eternity of selfishness 
Less lets things go 
unnoticed and unwanted things 
baggage and staggering burden 
The lesson of less
isn’t one for fools
or fearful or frivolity 
The lesson of less
is reserved for those 
who are courageous capable 
and strong committed to 
living life with more 
of almost everything importantly
impactful and essentially impossible 
simply by accepting that 
less is always more
