Escape

in your
concrete garden tall
I shall raise your eyes
above the wall
to a place
by the restless sea
where salty air
flows free
dried from the world
this water saves
peacefulness rides
upon the waves
a clear blue sky
with wrinkled linen clouds
and gulls are
your only crowds
to walk ribbons
of sands of time
a breathtaking
view sublime
a place where
your soul can flow
kite like in lusty
breezes that blow
so when corners appear
in every inch of rooms
and holds you
tightly like a tomb
remember this place
it is your beach
a secret of your own
within reach



I’m not disappointed,  I never expected anything from you.

“a place where

breezes that blow”

A soul flying kite-like, a sort of different idea than most people want; because most people done want any strings to restrain them.  I guess it’s all depends on whose got hold of the string.   Very interesting write.
