SIMPLICITY AND INVISIBILITY

It was bright and warm like a late summer’s day today. These are the days in which the sky is cool and cloudlessly blue, the coloured trees cast long shadows, and the sun hangs low and golden over the crisp, green grass.

I decided to go to the park for my lunch - probably for the last visit of the year. I took sandwiches, a packet of Fry’s chocolate creams, and a bottle of lucozade, and I sat out in the lovely sunshine. 

There’s a great simplicity to those moments. The sun just shines, the sky just glistens, and the world just is. Simple! And although I haven’t mastered it, I happen to be a huge fan of simplicity! 

In fact, here’s a poem that’s aiming to say something simple - the feeling you get when you know you can really be useful to someone, but they don’t seem to see it; in fact they don’t seem to see you at all.

The Invisible Man

I think I could help you;

I’d quite like to try

I’ve got what you need,

What you need to get by

But you are frustrated

For reasons, I see

That could be placated

If you should ask me.

But I am transparent:

A fracture of glass.

And I’ll never offer

And you’ll never ask, so

You might never know that

I’d help to the end,

And love you forever,

Forever your friend

Told you it was simple, even if it’s kind of deep. Oh to be deep and simple. I have got to stop over-complicating everything.
