A walk in the Park


A light post stands, flash lights
A bin can fenced annexe; dogs bark, woof, woof, in excitement
On hill tops squirrels hang on tree climbs, nut crackers


This is  parks lay green on green grasses
Hills and contour, forms waves of fusion
A man on walks in solitude, slowly he steps
Indulged in his own thoughts


While run man, rains sweat, jogs off on parks 
Tries to escape from thoughts 
Turned in, turn on,tuned in, into ipods
Sounds blast, private concert in ears listen


Beyond hills lies, concrete trees, concrete jungles
Where reality stands, ready to battle
Round two; I unpredictable, he chants 


For now, the park is my sanctuary 
My piece of mind, my calming place, serenity my regroup
My escapism, take me to another place
It is the dream, of day light, eyes still wide opened


Take me to another place,
Platform on green green grasses 
Indulge me into escapism


Take me to nature,
Let me clear my head 
While time is called out,
On reality's thirst

  2. "Take me to another place"... made me think the man listening to his iPod had Arrested Development on his play list. Nice write, Kodjo. (The picture looks like me and my old friends on the park bench. lol)
