Poem:
I find myself entering a green garden
Full of flowers, even in winters they blossom
A mystery mystical space, like Arden
Filled with squirrels, quokkas and possum
I find myself entering a tree house
Hidden in a maze like jungle, no one in sight
Against its wooden door I espouse
More than my home, this room feels alright
I find myself swimming in a pond
Surrounded by bushes, creepers, a lone tree
Far away for people to come around
Isolated from city's chaos i finally feel free
I find myself resting under a banyan
Don't need mattresses or beds, this is enough
Birds on the tree are my companion
A refreshing nap, though the ground is rough
I find myself shutting off my phone
As I stay immersed in the nature around me
For the first time I don't feel alone
Enjoy my surrounds as I make hibiscus tea
I find myself touching a soft cloud
The sky came below in form of fog and mist
I love this feeling! tell myself aloud
To my busy monotonous life, felt like a twist
Was just a fever dream, but it tasted so real
A life of no rules, that's my desire
A way of living where I don't have to conceal
Wish to surpass all limits, go higher
-Niki
