I wonder

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to escape and run away.
To adventure out to a different place that I've never been and hide.
Maybe disappear behind a waterfall into a private land that no one knows about.
To take comfort in the quiet solitude of no sound except birds chirping.

What would it be like without technology and people? Just me by myself?
Would I feel lonely and desperate for noise of phones and computers?
Dare I to imagine waking up without one person asking me to do something?
It seems unthinkable and unfathomable and yet a little selfish, I guess.

To walk around with my arms out to my side's, looking up at the ceiling.
My eyes closed, deep sigh of gleeful contentment of hearing nothing.
"No mommy, no Darling can you come here for a minute"....just me,
In my quiet world where nothing dwells but me and my oxygen.

I can sleep in, stay up late, eat when I want or not, fix my hair or not,
Dress down without worry of anyone noticing that I'm not "pretty" up.
I can curl up with a good book with my covers and snuggle in for the day,
The entire day if I want and be lazy and not care if I do anything at all.

To day dream without interruption or fear of being caught unproductive,
To actually listen for something and not even hear a pin drop to the ground.
What a thought of exquisite time of me allowing myself to be just me,
To sing loudly, scream loudly, snore loudly or laugh out loudly. What a thought!

To take an entire day to spend quality time with an old friend...Me,
To listen to my inner voice and give her the moments she needs to gain strength.
To wrap my arms around my soul and just stand still and allow the hug to heal,
To 're-learn what it took to make the woman that I am...strong and resilient.

Every woman needs a way of escape, whether it be in her mind or reality,
To break-away from the normal routine of her life and to breathe solitude,
To stretch out her arms, throw her head back, take a very deep sigh,
And smile from pure, ecstatic joy of knowing she is alone for a little while.

Just one of those moments, she can be whatever she wants to be,
In that one minute of quiet reprieve, she can gain determination for decisions,
For her husband, children, life's battles, direction for the future of her family,
And be the strongest woman ever...focused with purpose for tomorrow.

I wonder...
