Escaping the World

I lay my back upon the earthen ground To sigh with serenity, to become unwound I'll seek the sounds which have no words The creaking limbs, the soft murmur of birds I'll listen to the breeze whisper through trees Every breath I breathe, every sign of ease I'll free my spirit from the world's control Never utter a sound, nor will my soul From such wondrous wonder which overwhelm I'll gasp in awe, at this glorious realm 4/29/21 contest Writing Prompt- Breathe sponsor Constance La France
