Leaving The City Lights And Traffic Behind
8 April, 2011
Author: Elizabeth Squires
leaving the city lights and traffic behind
leaving them for a destination of a more open kind
need to get out into the country side
need to embrace the landscape wide
too long in the hustle and bustle
it's too much of a grind on ones muscles
tired of the urban scene
tired of the people there so mean
wandering in the iron bark stands
smelling the earthy quality of the dampened sands
all of those city monkeys off my back
meandering along the old bush track
fleeing the crowded walkways
changing address
out in the country side
no more pressure or stress
