Wendy Watson Poet Acrostic

Great Escape

Going on a journey to renew my mind
Ready for distraction from the daily grind
Everybody needs a chance to get away -
Activate their senses on a holiday
Time for liberation from my heavy load
Energy is rising as I hit the road
Singing karaoke to an old-time song
Cares are left behind me as I cruise along
As I catch a glimmer of the glistening sea
Peaceful satisfaction washes over me
End of journey -time to let my soul run free.

May your spirit run free - thanks Wendy - Lindsay Wendy Watson January 11, 2020 at 5:48 AM I'm glad it affected you in that way,Lindsay as I had a melody rolling through my mind from start to finish!

Beata Agustin January 9, 2020 at 9:06 AM Thanks for sharing this; I was delighted... til I reached the last line:"End of journey, back to stark reality." We thank the Lord for moments of blessed escapes. God bless you. Thanks likewise for your uplifting comments and compliments. God bless you. Wendy Watson January 9, 2020 at 10:16 AM Thanks so much for reading and commenting,Beata. It's been changed since as I too wanted in the end to continue the feel good factor to the end although the idea of him (always had a male character in my head as I wrote for some reason) being abruptly awoken from a daydream seemed a good idea at first.

Lin Lane January 9, 2020 at 7:15 AM This is quite a whimsical acrostic, Wendy. Well written. Wendy Watson January 9, 2020 at 10:17 AM Thanks for your 'visit' Lin. I have changed the ending since though.
