There is more....

 

To retreat, to withdraw

to escape far from care and clamour

to enter through a different portal

into a vision of serenity

to be alone, unimpeded

unimpaired, unattached

free of distractions and illusions

from an irritating world of self

vexed with its own existence

from the buzz, drone and hum

of futile exertions

of wasted effort and time lost

to embrace refreshment for the soul

in an ocean of tranquility

to purge the mind

as a waterfall cleanses

its streams meandering their way

over pebbles causing rivulets to flow

to be still with a heart set free

from nagging worries

from those caught in their

own self made cages

to be from where we came

to revisit where our destiny lies

if only for a season

O blest horizon
