As I lay amongst the tall grass

Daniel

As I lay amongst the tall grass
Free from consequence and care
No need for pretence or farce
Free to be me, no mask to wear

My mind wonders to a simpler place
Far beyond the world we all see
Where I am free to wear my face
For people look and see the real me

These wild dreams that hold my gaze
Briefly free me from life's dance
They show me glimpses of better days
As I lay amongst the tall grass

    Daniel you created a nice flow I really enjoyed I hate the mask but I never put it down long enough to collect dust TFS.

          I have worn the mask my whole life. It is difficult to be real. There is something special about laying in the grass. Enjoyed.

            I think we all wear our masks, but it's nice to escape and be yourself once in a while. Thanks for your comment Augustus!

            Nothing better than getting a chance for peace and quiet and to reflect on one's life. Very pleasant poem Daniel!
