The Escape Of The Industrialised World – The Romantic Era

I look upon the world,
And wonder why it is twirled.
Clocks ticking like eyes blinking,
Making many mortals run by the beating.

I escape the shackles of this industry,
To the freedom of nature,
Where I rejuvenate, to break free from the crazy activity.
And I shall learn in beautiful scenes rather than in torture.

I look up into the beam of light, as it sends me satisfaction.
Whilst sitting by the mighty fountain, the water grinds and whistles.
It runs into a narrow canal, making an interaction.
Staring into the bright fertile garden excites me, yet I am troubled by the thistles.

Nature is different to the everyday expectations!
It lets me break free…allowing me to let go of my frustration!
I have escaped the industrialised world…
Nature is the ruler of my world!
