The romantic escape

just read

In the words of the

romantics and

transedentalists

 

We must release

all ties from

the city and

retreat

 

Retreat to our

own self niervana

away from others

 

Nature can help

Peaceful calm

full of beauty

 

The first rose

of spring

 

No one can

help us on

our journey

 

No book can help

It is all

 

an interal journey

 

We must

fight those

inner

demons

 

Release our soul

Let our minds

wonder

Step away

 

From the

corruption of

society

 

And finally

discover what

we were

looking for

I agree. Whenever i feel alone i start reading a new book and it ends too soon, and reality comes crashing in that this is just a fantasy not real world. Books have helped me a lot to escape reality and indulge myself into fiction and their world when things got tough in my life. Even when I am 60 years old having a life crisis i will still get a new romance book to escape from my own world! Really love your poem, it really relates and explains my feelings towards my life!

Some never find what they're looking for. I think we need to identify the supposed demons...and when we do they are more than likely well known to us. I can't see where the romantic element slots into this piece. however it is thought provoking.

Cheers,

Helen.
