Clutter Around Me

There is
so much clutter 
around me.... 

Clutter 
created by things 
that I have 
been adding 
and adding to my world 
which if subtracted 
will make no difference 
to 
my truth and reality 
and which if deleted 
will simplify my life 
will 
multiply my joy and 
will divide my stresses. 

Look at this clutter 
of 
nice manners 
proper etiquettes 
flowery words and
enforced smiles
when all I need 
is simple and pure love 
for my fellow human beings. 

Look at this clutter of 
powders n cosmetic
eye shadows n lipstick 
when all I need to wear 
is a genuine sincere
smile on my lips 
along with truth 
and twinkle of hope 
in my eyes. 

Look 
at this clutter of 
fancy titles 
and ego- boosting designation 
adorning 
my business card 
when all I need is 
the willingness 
to serve the humankind 
and 
to share my skills and 
knowledge that help me serve. 

Look at this 
clutter of 
calendars and clocks 
diaries and fancy management tools 
when 
all I need is to 
engage myself in things 
which my heart most desires 
for time goes by so quickly 
and I remember very well 
when I do things 
that I truly love and enjoy 
and tend to forget things 
that I hate to do. 

Then there is the clutter 
of materials accumulated 
over the past and 
materials accumulated 
for the future 
when all I need is 
just the things 
that will
help me live fully 
in the here and now. 

I often ponder 
how simple and 
blissful 
my life could become 
if only I could get rid of 
so much clutter 
around me.....
