ESCAPISM

                                                            EMOTIONAL REFUGE


From harm and danger

legs flee,run away

in every path and way to places far away 

to find a shield against the heart's inner dagger.

From disgust and eyesore

Eyes look-away so as not to see

and feel ugliness and misery,

dullness and adversary.

From binding tight ropes

can hands be freed so as to freedom hold 

and dreams and hopes

set free from prison yards in which they are trapped?

For burdened hearts 

are there refuge huts?
