Escape















 

















 
Escape

I have a series posted to another website
that is called Stepping Beyond The Picture.
Within it, I attempt to bring the picture I am
within, to step beyond the feelings it conveys.


I have come to realize that sometimes
it is therapeutic to step fully within an entirely
different picture, than what you have
 become accustomed.


Leaving behind, if only for a brief moment,
the reality that is your own.
Soul seeking escape
from what is painted within the now.


The ambiance of this  painted scene
just seems to somehow draw me
into the peace and tranquility this
picture seems to emit.
 

The tree stands in magnificence
upon a cliff that seems only to be supported
 by the soft billows of clouds playing
catch me if you can
as they float just above the waterfall
that whispers to the larger pool below.


The sun just beginning to awaken.
Its best rays of the day
casting color upon waters edge.
Softly illuminating the morning display
of yet one more of God's beautiful creations.


Branches reach to release daydreams,
in the form of bubbles, into a purple-violet sky.
Their rainbows denied color.
Awaiting full sun to display their true splendor
they dance in shadows of their awakening.


Escape is taken within the vision of only
a picture and the time to bring it before friends
that perhaps are in need of an escape as well.


Peace to all that continues the journey.
