A secluded place.

 Dream of a life

better than this one.

I hope of not repeat

this same one

when I die.

I have aspirations of peace, harmony

and laughter.

Instead of hurt, pain and upset.

I tried to go with the flow of

everything that is sent my way.

At times it's hard to keep a stiff

up lip and deal with all the strife.

Sometimes you just want to revert

into yourself. Like a turtle closing

himself off to the world. Inside his

own shell.

Marooned inside your own solitude

and onesome.

Away from everything and everyone.

Where you are at peace and calm

with oneself.

yes, sometimes this is exactly what we want to do...when i feel like this i just look over at my tank...three box turtles...and yes, they close up within themselves when they are scared or irritated, and i wonder if it helps them...
i like your metaphor here.

I believe life is liked the movie where the man learn, how life would be without him.
"Away from everything and everyone.
Where you are at peace and calm
with oneself."
I want to escape daily. But I know what I did. I saved many and I was saved also. I am a old man now and I am thankful. No easy life. Thank you Dawn for sharing your amazing poetry. I believe we learn our wealth when one day, we learn. We did okay.

I once heard someone say that the search of peace is always so much of inside as much as in the outside. And this remarkably depicts it. I love you flow of thoughts

Hi Abhishek, Thank you for your thoughts. I like your thinking. I do believe that too. Inner and out peace. It's just finding the balance from both. Or one or the other when you can. hugs. Dawn.
