The Simplest Words
Let me tell you
Of what I have learned through poetry.
Sometimes,
The simplest words have the most power
They’re the ones that stay on your mind
And pull at your heart
They’re the ones that give you chills
And start movements
When you think about it,
It really comes as no surprise
It is, after all, the smallest seeds
That travel the furthest
And the smallest droplets
Which form a rainbow
It doesn’t serve to clutter the page
With long, dense sentences
When the most power is held
Within the untouched spaces
Found between the smallest words.
