Retreat to NORMALCY

The long awaited day of tortue

has come at last as awaited.

To make me see world outside work.

Now the real torture has begin,

A week of holiday is declared

The work-place is closed and

I need to kill the time away from home

(away from work thats enjoyable now and ever).

Where will I go? how will I be?

A weeks' time look too long

and dreadful indeed.

I fear of the sea, with the sharks,

I fear of the jungles with tribes.

Here I go to the mountains high with a heavy heart by my side.

I climb the mountain at circles like a eagle aiming for heights.

The turn goes on and on making the day last long

Its the third day now itself

and Iam half the way to the heights

(may be Iam happy and back to life).

The overflowing water from heights

The cynosure breeze that hug be tight.

How I wish to get lost in the unexplored forest that pass by.

Here again my mobile rings

My city life calls me back

Back to the monotonous routines...

The way back, goes so fast.

The turns go with an uncontrollable speed

taking me back to my time

I freeze my thoughts were my happiness lies

(as I fly low on the mountains high)

to preserve a smile of mine

that could no more be seen in my time

where i will transform as robot, as others are.

My life is great here, as it should be.

Safe from animals, emotions and greens

As it should be for a robot like me.

ohh i can relate this one. when we are living our hectic lives in city we just want to break loose of it and when we actually are out there into the wild we miss that chaos and get very tiresome and lonesome. we seek calmness in jungle of people, i guess. a freeflowing poem, wonderfully executed.

we do tend to forget how to live without work and things we consider ' normal'..good work.

I really liked this poem! I liked how the lines flowed from one to another really well. You don't always see that in a poem and it was refreshing to see. Keep up the good work!
