...On Mental Escape

Its amazing that even in the midst of the fray, a much needed calm can be found

Primarily by the sound

Of the magnificent clarity within in music

I plug my ears to drown out the wretched noise

Of discontented peoples in motion

Happy to escape, I use my Ipod as an escape pod

From the omnipresent chaos that surrounds

I imagine myself somewhere far above and removed from these things

A place where ideas are used as currency,

And creative thought builds the palaces in which we live

If only just to close mine eyes for but a moment…

And somehow, sometime be free
