The Gate's Story
I managed to escape the concrete jungle.
I didn’t dare look behind me –
I was afraid it would follow me. Stress.
I looked out at the countryside,
its rolling hills inviting me in.
I approach an old gate,
oh the stories it probably has to tell.
If only that gate could speak,
it would be a world renowned author.
It’s friend the water pump –
How long has it been there?
Is it friends with the old gate?
I managed to escape the terrors of modern life.
In the presence of the gate my stress turned into
security and curiosity.
I wish I could be friends with the gate,
he seems like a nice fellow.
For as long as I live, I wanted to be here by the gate,
and listen to its stories.
