I go to the countryside to escape the city
From busy streets and droves of people
To step back in time if only to dream
I long for yesterday yet simple and kind
For peace and tranquility to soothe my mind
Flowing hills and streams seem endless in time
The air clean for not yet pollutant ridden
The alluring beauty where asphalts forbidden
My senses yearn to take me there often
Nevertheless daily grind holds me in Joplin

I worked in cities all my life but retired now I live in a sleepy English village in the middle of lush green rolling countryside so this super write resonates with me. Thanks for posting it.
