On My Own In the Peak District

The blue sky, vast deep blue sky
the crisp cold green grass beneath
and between the two - just me!

no moment of loneliness 
but of bliss, of existence,
and thought of self and just be!

no trees to block the clear view,
sheep graze quiet, faraway,
fragrant blossoms down the lea! 

how false are the chains of life?
keep us captive, trapped, glued in? 
one breath-  I cut myself free!


7 syllables
rhyme with the last lines in each stanza

Ah! to be in England
now, that it is April there!

Hello Krish, You are welcome. Yes as doctor you would work hard. What type of a doctor are you? It is Spring in Canada. Where I live. Krish I use to read Daphne Du Maurier's books. She is a great author. Have you lived in England all your Life? Your Friend, Darlene/

England is very very beautiful in Spring and Summer. In Canada, we are still not in real Spring - Tulips are not in bloom yet. Love the way you have used rhyme in this poem - quite creative! Being a busy doctor, how do you manage to write mesmerizing poetry! Kudos to you.
