Far From The Maddening Crowd
i know i work best in a quiet peaceful existence.
i don't need aplomb. i don't need action.
i just need quiet appreciation of beauty around me.
i am not a people person, unlike how people perceive me to be, simply because people tire me out.
however good i may be with people.
then i think of you, and your seven ha of land in the beautiful French countryside. I think of your donkey and your five cats. Your goats and your flowers. I think of your quiet existence away from the maddening crowd.
I think perhaps, I don't hear from you. Because I must have had been part of the maddening crowd.
And you are in your peaceful solitude with your peaceful everything.
You have your peace.
While I'm stuck in my maddening crowd.
Am tired. And a thousand little deaths remedy nothing.
And the first stab of pain comes with the paranoia that I must have had been part of your maddening crowd, and not your peace.
While you were my reprieve from this maddening crowd, and my window of peace.
