A Country Walk
The quiet countryside
Gives peace of mind.
The lonely country lanes
Give solitude.
The smell of country air
Calms my restless soul,
And all within is still.
I am at peace with myself and the world.
I feel refreshed,
Happy again, no longer depressed.
Everything seems wonderful;
The miracles of nature thrill me once more,
I am content.
The country experience I longed for
Has relieved the pressures of life.
But, back in the town:
The hustle and bustle,
Traffic zooming to and fro;
People hurry – no time for anything.
Now again I am restless,
My mind once more confused,
Caught up in the system,
The pressures of life bearing down.
So ends the country experience.
