Seeking to be Free

A yearning poem about escaping humanity’s misery and finding peace in the imagined solitude of wilderness and the mountaintop.


Oh, that I had wings of an eagle!
I would fly far away and find my peace,
fleeing from humanity’s misery.
In the pristine wilderness I will rest,
secure my place on the mountaintop;
a refuge from the swirling tempest,
and life’s depressive utterings.
