Flee To Nature

At times, I must flee routine and city work-life,
leave behind my daily schedules and office strife
to linger unrushed where nature remains untouched,
its splendid beauty neither man-brushed nor time-hushed.

When I cannot escape to nature’s lilting scenes
my natural faith aches and wilts in crooked leans.

you took the challenge to a wonderfully contemplative level, Caycay. I especially loved the man-brushed/ time-hushed line. Very cleverly written. Guess what? I am DONE here. I was saving YOu for last! now I can go home and see netflix. whoo hoo!! Unless hubbie has beat me home!!

I enjoyed reading about this escape to your place ..your sanctuary. Most can relate to the sentiments you express CayCay..a desire to be in nature..somewhere un-rushed and untouched..as you say. Well written, CayCay.
