Escape

I want to go.
All the while 
Till there is none.
Nor he, nor she, 
Not even You. 
A place far away. 
And farther away, 
Not just woods ,
But still beyond. 
Not along shores, 
Buzzing with waves,
Or lush meadows, 
Buzzing with chirps. 
Not in the oceans, 
Where creatures creep. 
Or still rocky hills,
Where life does subsist. 
I toiled through nights, 
And slumbered in days. 
Till I reached 
The Holy Cove. 
Past all gone. 
Future not in sight. 
Everything subtle .
But yet and, still, 
There I was!
