Away For A Day

Far away, here am I,
none but peaceful pass me by.
Far from all the people's cries,
far from those who hate and who despise.
No matter dull or be they wise,
it's good to rid them from these worn-out eyes.
They say a man's soul longs for peace,
in each mind one needs release.
As time passes every day, so many things fall in my way.
Set apart now is this mind,
away from all the lifetime binds.
The sky is clear, there is no rain.
The day is clear, there is no pain.
From lifetime joys you must reframe.
Though it may sound a bit insane.
A madman lurks within each mind.
Blind to be, not to know the key to freedom.
Many things will remain behind locked doors,
never sought for, never opened.
The true man lies within his own set limits.
Locks, only temporary stops to the opening.
Time sands shift as moods must fly,
as men must live, just to die.
