An escape

I lay on a bench surrounded by grass on top of a hill
I felt a peace within, all my problems were still
And the rain drops looked like tiny sparkles infront of my eyes
I felt no moisture yet they fell from the skies
I drove up there to get away
And as I lay on that bench, there I wanted to stay
I didn't want to go home and lie on my bed
I didn't want to be there with all the thoughts in my head
Being in that place just for a while brought peace to my mind
That beautiful spot, nature being kind
So for just a few minutes I found my escape
And I lay there til darkness fell like a cape
Then I had to go home, felt the problems cloak me again
But lying on that bench, in the rain,
for just a while gone was my pain
