My Pursuit

Removed from society, Out of its tentacles, Faced with another world, Falling into its embrace, I ask if it's what I want. Removed from society, I open another door, I see an unperturbed view, I wished this would be eternal. Removed from society, I walk through the woods, I'm in a home with nature, I'm at ease in my chambers, The value of time with her is worthwhile, Removed from society, It's a step into a new world, A halo of peace surrounds, I glide in its ambience. Removed from society, It's not a barbwire reform, It's a search for unclouded skies, A home beyond dreams. July 8, 2022, Mark Toney, 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 7 Poetry Contest.
