Antidote.

Step away.

Leave behind.

Avoid 

the din

and chatter.

Chattering 

chaos of

humanity.

Crossing

currents.

Nonstop

conflicting 

narratives.

Ad nauseam.

Losing identity, 

individuality.

Blanking

the soul.

Mind 

shackling.

Step away.

Cleanse.

Cleanse

the mind.

The soul.

Restore 

inner peace.

Modernity 

gabs and

holds.

Causing

confusion,

anxiety,

fear.

Step away,

find solitude.

Peace, quiet,

nature.

Babbling 

brooks,

chirping bids,

night time

crickets.

Rolling

seas.

Immersion

in nature.

Pure antidote 

for what’s 

to come.
