Analysis of Simple pleasures
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
The joy of food
To drink your fill
To witness a sunset
Or maybe a sunrise
Even when not sober
Glory to the eyes
Accompanied by the first song
Of the natives in the trees
The warmth of the sun
A cool summers breeze
To search for the unknown
To find a place to rest
To meditate on creation
To snuggle in your nest
The pleasure of procreation
Gifts from above
Simple pleasures
For all, with love.
