Haven of Peace

Safe haven? Where?

I've been hunting for my safe haven.
A place where I can be free,
a place where the sun smiles
upon my weary shoulders
and kisses me.

Running from the city
of filth and dirt,
I found a place far from
where I used to be
far from all the hurt.

Going all through the night,
I stopped by a river bed
longing for a peace
that I fear I'll never see,
nor feel in my head.

If this is the place
where I can finally die
then so let it be.
I am at peace
no need to worry or cry.

This is was for a writing contest on another site. No I am not suicidal, just for the record.

I can't find more words than "I like it".
It brings forth wonderful imagery, and it's well written.
