Awakingness

I cannot stay away
From sunny afternoons,
Passing weather-less days
In suffocating rooms...

There is more company
In the solace of God
Myself beside myself
Caressed by grass unshod...

Unhappy banishment!
Lurid society
An imposition bent
Of stiff variety...

The soul needs affection
From a credible source
Not a mere distraction,
But a redemptive course...

(Dedicated to my dear friend PenPen)
