Beyond the Noise

I didn't leave to find dreams, nor was I running from the past,

Just tired of days that never seemed to last.

Not running to find a distraction,

Just hoping to move in a softer direction.

I made fun of everything I desired so much,

And finally let go of the need to clutch.

I slept through mornings,

Without a schedule or the ringings.

I left the glass and concrete,

Beyond all those dreams I never did meet.

Escaping the noise and sound,

To a place where peace can be found.

So here I stand under the sky,

Nothing to rush, nothing to try.

Life moves on, but I walk slow,

Finally at peace with just letting go.
