Sanctuary

Walking into the forest,

my goal is to embrace isolation

Disgusted by the rat-race

I’m leaving society’s congregation

Because of its intrusiveness

it’s difficult to remain private

I leave the city with no remorse

as Nature has become my surrogate

Deeper into the forest I push

continuing my search for seclusion

Getting away from society

with its unwanted obtrusion

Far from the filthy city

I live as a happy recluse

Along with disdain for people

I need no other excuse

Traveling further into the woods

yearning to live where it’s remote

People and society are the poison

While Mother Nature is the antidote
