Let me live
In a primitive hut
On a deserted island
Away from the past
Let me live
A day in peace
Folded into seclusion
Away from my demons
Let me live
In the silence of solitude
On a hope and a dream
Away from your grasp
Through my fears and pains
Losses and gains
Just let me live
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge – primitive
The trill of the bird
Interrupted my moment of silence
The serenity was lost
When another car pulled in the lot
I just wanted an escape
A brief moment or two of peace
I used to find it at the park
But today was not my day to relax
Too many people
Wanted that same escape today
And I was far from alone
Far from a quiet solitude
The bird song still rang out
Over the noise of the engine
I guess that is as close as I get today
To a little bit of tranquility
