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.
