Escape to the Hills

Distant from the echoes, where monotonous routines reside

Away from repetitions, where tasks collide

A ray of hope arose behind giant bollards,

When skin felt the hilly sunlight

Switches between warmth, wind and sometimes rain

Gazing at stars, an escape from the inevitable pain

Trees, sun and altitude eased the inner turmoil,

Dissolved all the knots, gifted relief from strain

Warm, pleasant fire acted as a shield,

Protected from bone-chilling nights aiming to freeze,

Pulled away the haunting thoughts - the anguish from inside,

Mind was clear, could only feel a constant breeze

From trees uphill, could hear the Ravens

Right at the top, it felt like a haven

Freedom was felt, the calmness within amplified

Deep inside heart, escape to the hills was engravened
