Escape

Hold my hand and let us escape

Don’t look around, just wear your cape

There is so much to see in the outer world

No need to stay at home all curled

 

Beautiful greenery and the sound of ducks

Focus properly and hear my tender words

Children running and adults socialising

The lockdown is over, this is hardly surprising

 

Let’s dance in the park or sing in the woods

Make this quiet place into a lively neighbourhood

No thinking, just living each moment to the fullest

Not letting anyone control and fire their bullet

 

Watch the birds fly above the blue sky

The sun beams glimmering so high

Tall trees swaying in the cool breeze

Enjoy every minute and put your mind at ease

 

An escape is sometimes all we need

Foot off the accelerator to reduce the speed

Giving our bodies and mind a good break

Imagine the difference that would make!
