I'm sorry but my truth doesn't hurt.
Sorry but it causes no pain.
I'm sorry but my truth is not flashy.
Sorry but it brings you no fame.
I'm sorry but my truth is not aggressive.
Sorry but it doesn't call on your violence.
I'm sorry but my truth doesn't perform.
Sorry but it does not entertain.
For my truth is simple, kind, and free...
My truth is love that is given for just being there to listen.
My truth is humility gained from a life lived simply.
My truth is peace achieved through understanding and acceptance.
My truth is not an act, it is real as the land and sea.
I share with you my simple truths as they were once shared with me.
Share with those who ask how simple truth can be.

True, but there are other sides to Truth.
In short, Truth is what you think it to be.It can change with time.To ones mind, it re-adjusts its potential like water,fluid, until it settles down in an equilibrium state. -

But of course
You are very correct which is why I named it My Truth instead of The Truth. Each person has to decide what truth is to them, how they will measure themselves against time. These are the things in my life that are important to me, they are the same things that have been important to many before me. They are simple and lead me to a greater understanding of the world around me. They keep my life simple and my heart full. They help make me the person that I am and help me define the person I have yet to become. They are My Truth...

In Short
For me the ultimate truth would be what I think I see. And it changes with time.The last stanza of my poem Equlibrium is posted below.
"The intelligent performs not, insentient live in freedom.
Awareness, initiating karma with inspiring exuberance.
Meditation the path to conscious, unconsciousness empathy.
Absolute truth, a vivacious re-allocation of consciousness."
Welcome to IM, for it is resonance with others that refines quality in us.
Thanks for you comments.

Some things change while others stay the same...
There is what you think you see, and there is what you know you are. I will grow, and change of course but the standard which I measure myself by will always be the same. Do I care for others as I'd like to be cared for. Do I work for what I want, and not look for a hand out. Do I approach life with humility instead of boastfulness? Am I honest? Will I be remembered fondly? Have I given reason to be remembered fondly?
In the end, did I live well, did I laugh often, did I share much, and did I love freely.
These are the guides with which I measure myself by. What others do and how they do it is up to them. Many best wishes to them and may they find their truth, however they seek it.

Simplicity
My friends and family have taught me all about simple truth. The things that are around us all the time but some times we forget to see. Everyonce in a while I have to stop remember and share.

Very persceptive! The truth is only as complicated as we make it.

To live simply
Yeah, I often get called simple because I try to see the small things. I try to take a lesson from everything, and enjoy that even sometimes the smallest things mean so much. Thanx for the applause!

we would live in paradise.

Simply to live
I like to think that the simple love I share makes a difference. I like to think that if god is watching me he will see that I lived simply, worked hard, shared much, and loved well. And even if there isn't a god, and no one is watching. I will know that I did what I could to show people a simpler side of life.
