Leave Me Alone

“Wherever I am, the world comes after me” ~Mary Oliver Oh, this fastidious world just wouldn’t want to leave me alone, It nags me, stalks me, and tries to wean me away. It believes not that I am but a transient traveler through the corridors of time, An echo from the void of the past, An apparition from the shadows of oblivion. For all its worth, I may one day drop the world like a weary Atlas, And forever disappear into the great beyond. ~Contest: Absolutely Anything ~Sponsor: Shreva LN. ~Contest: Leave Me Alone ~Sponsor: Mystic Rose Rose.
