Escape
I become part of the breeze.
I close my eyes and drift away
Wrapped securely in my sleep cape
In the veils of night, I disappear
On my ultimate escape.
My mind flies over garden walls
And floats between the trees
Worldly thoughts are blown away
I become part of the breeze.
It’s a place of metamorphosis
I escape to in my dreams
Where everything is different
Or that’s the way it seems.
I fly o’er places never seen
Not mentioned on a map
And dive across vast oceans
In heavens center nature's lap.
A whispering wind accompanies me
We speak in dulcet tones
And visit ancient kings and queens
Perched on star-studded thrones.
My escape is beyond all measures
And cannot be quantified
And stays with me in heavenly sleep
Keeping me satisfied.
And when I wake from my escape
There’s a residue that remains
Yet now they’re faceless people
In escape that have no names.
