Traveling Hilltops
Virginia Salter

out on the hillside grazing
cow and calf lazing
foxglove, black-eyed Susan
in breezes waving

butterfly, moth
dancing on air
bumble and honey
playing musical chairs

sunlight glinting
off leaf and blade of grass
slithering garter
winding ‘cross the path

snow-in-summer
waltzing in the wind
huddling in little circles
gladsome hours I spend

dreaming of hillsides
hearing summer’s song
lifting me above the land
carrying me along

my heart becomes as light
almost leaves my being
sated with delight
of all my mind is seeing

do you have an inkling
of what there is in store
for one who travels hilltops
‘n’ sings the trav’lers score?

Thanks, Sunshine and I'm so glad you do.  Hillsides like this can certainly make a difference!
