The Cure

When I'm awash with ennui

I need no rushed society,

Imposing in their immensity

There is solitude and mystery,

I scramble above the riven scree 
 
Where a soul is truly free,

To marvel then at what I see

Mountains are the cure for me.

I could be cured of noise pollution there. Move over, Gary. Great word choices... riven scree and ennui are vocabulary jewels.
