Stay Out

Where shadows whisper secrets I'm inclined to keep.

Away from bustling crowds and voices loud,

I carve my haven, far from the madding crowd.

Here, time stretches thin, like threads of silk,

Where thoughts unravel, uncoil, without ilk.

The silence speaks in tongues unknown,

Where echoes of my heartbeat are softly thrown.

Stay out, oh world of chaos and haste,

Let me linger here, in this tranquil space.

Amongst the murmuring leaves and gentle breeze,

Where my soul finds rest, under tranquil trees.

In this sanctuary, untouched by time's cruel hand,

Stay out, stay out, and let me simply be.
