Analysis of Simple Pleasures
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
These most simple pleasures,
a warm breeze, bird song, time passing, unmarked, unmeasured.
Quiet company, vibrant life, flowering in its complexities.
Deep sleep ,a soft. bed, partners who fit each others irregularities.
Good food ,a child's laugh, the silent grace of sanity.
