I want to escape this world.
And sit with somebody in a quiet place.
Looking at the stars, imagine a new world.
Drinking silence in a cup of coffee
The chaos-free, serene space
A cessation in this running world
Walking on green grass barefoot
Running wildly in green, loose space
Exploring myself in the woods
Reading books in a tree house
Lit up the world with tiny stars of night.
O What a majestic view of dancing lights!
Watching the dreamy aurora borealis
The magical moon nights, different canvasses of sunsets in the sky, and the cheerful sunrise
Flow of air through hair
Rustling of bushes, crushing of dried leaves
The perfume of petrichor, silence before storm
Chirping of forbidden sparrows, cucks of Koel
The exploration of vast universes within each other
Although I'm chaotic, I want to escape the worldly chaos
I want to escape this world.

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only
Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice. We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
