Seeking a Sanctuary

Every so often,
Just as a snake sheds its skin,
I yearn to discard this garb;
To strip away all 
the concerns of the world and 
roam free in the wilderness.

It's for me, by myself, ALONE! But...maybe, in your case, I can make an exception! So, keep your backpack handy! Lol. Thanks Jan.
