R&R (Working Title) Poem by Joyce Rugg

Step away from the noisy cars
See the sky without prison bars,
Revel in embracing quiet
Away from ceaseless babble and riot

Abandon this madness, step into the trees
Troubling thoughts disappear on the breeze
Reality recedes and stress goes along
The clamor of cars fade to birdsong

The perfect escape, peaceful reflection
The painless cure to heal life's infection
Paradise on earth, flawless, serene
A living utopia, swathed in green
