Simple Island Life

Simple Island Life

A Poem by Willard Wells
"

Poor and yet happy

"

Peering into the night

of Naval, Biliran.

I am reminded of time

gone past that wants

to draw me near.


Streets are dark

lacking substance,

along with any human touch.

Yet it draws me into thoughts

of yesteryear, places

frequented in my life


A simpler time,

with no cell phone.

A wave to the neighor,

and good morning all.

Times do change

for better or worse.


So I savor my time

to be at peace with the world.

As I step back to reflect

on past time in life.

A simple life is where happiness is found.
