Sometimes as I walk my usual way, I have that feeling of escaping away...
Escaping to some far away place...
From this world, from reality, from everbody around me
Escaping alone... just on my own...
Do you recognise the above feeling as well as I do? I have heard, seen and felt that almost everyone around me has had this thought once in a while. So did I.
And I have found a numerous places where I escape to.
Books for instance are very common. Entering into a world of imagination not created by me. Walking into the unknown roads and discovering new places, new faces in each new page. Its like meeting new people, knowing them, understanding them and then looking into their lives. My real world fades in to a blur for the duration of my reading, I have escaped!
Then there are poems - the ones that I read are pretty similar to books. Then there are the ones that I write. Its my world. A situation I have created, assesed and reacted to. My fancy, my whim, that is not dependent on what actually happens. It takes me to the kind of world I want - the innocence of a child or the thoughtfulness of a thinker, the calmness of nature or the heights of civilization - I have escaped!
Some around 1 yr back, I discovered this one more world where I could escape at my will - the Blogsville. A world similar to the world of my books as well as my poems - this world has its own charms. I come here to walk some known paths as well as to discover some new ones ans with that sometimes I contribute to create some of its paths as well... and just like some previous moments now also I am escaping!
Sometimes I wonder, what is it that we all want to escape and what is that string which brings us back here. However much I try to escape, one thing is for sure I will come back here because I will never escape my dreams and they do have to come true :) ... some time, some day some way...

Hi Anki !!!
Nice post :), but one immediate question which flashed across my mind was - Is 'escape' really the right word for what you feel or do??? ... you are referring it with a touch of childish innocence I believe Nanhi :) ...for often we do delve ourselves into different worlds, many a times with our wish not to stay in our present world too, but that's ... with an underlying conscience that we'll come back, refreshed, charged and ready to face this definition of reality ... :)
or .. (now I am also starting wondering ... calvin)... rather it sometimes actually IS an escape ... but then not always definitely ... and trust me, the string (or the link) which brings me back is the urge to 'work' .... for a human can't be happy dreaming alone .. he/she relishes the dreams fulfilled with efforts much more ... (ofcourse with unexpected inequalities of life varying at their own whim which often modify what we experience) ..... and that's exactly what you refer to in the end ... wishing you All the Best !!! :)
Keep writin Peril
(and hey all the readers of this blog will appreciate if u go into 'your world' again ... truly ...) ... Gbu
