Lost Cause

I want to get lost
somewhere peaceful
where the phone can't get me 
or the chaos
of clutter
or schedules
or appointments
Where the moon is bright
and the stars are countless
Where the morning sparkles with magic
as a new day 
slides across the land.

I want to wander
through trees tall and wise
standing watch
as i roam
Where the water is calm
and the earth is blanketed with life.

I want to be free
from crowds and clamor
from the hectic pressures
of advances in society.

I don't want to hear your lawnmower
or chainsaw
or hedge trimmer
or edger
or leaf-blower.
Or your powerful engine
or loud children
or noisy friends
or drunk relatives
or bad music.

Let the breeze and the sky blanket me
and the night fill my soul
and the day stir me with hope
and determination.
Lose me in beauty
and please don't drag me back.
