Pretend

Pretend, how about it,
a different life,
one of more accord
and much less strife,
of calmer days
and soothing winds,
quivering leaves on
swaying limbs,
light blue skies
with puffy clouds,
no shouting people 
in riotous crowds.

I'm glad I came across this one - so much said in a few powerful words! Deep and beautiful with great imagery. Makes me feel like getting away "far from the madding crowd!"

I was reading it over, and I thought to myself, "How did I write this?" :)
