Want to escape

     To a quiet place

     A wooden log cabin

      In the wild greens

      Only you and me.

       Do our own chores

       Sit by the door

       Watch nature’s beauty

       Without getting bored

        Only you and me.

         Walk around miles

         Collect herb from wilds

         Cook simple meals

         Eat-in peace

         Only you and me.

         Gather wildflowers

          Twine them together

          Wear it on my hair

          Without a care

           Only you and me.

             Listen to bird songs

             Singing whole day long

             The wind makes melodies

              From hills and valleys

               Only you and me.
