Wishing well

Walking the ancient forest path
enjoying the warmth of sunlight
filtering through sentinel trees
guarding the timeless passageway
taken by lovers as they search

Deep within majestic mountains
there is a place whispered about
in legends almost forgotten
where only the sincere can find
when searching for eternal love

A quiet valley ever green
to never know winters chill
nestled within the mystic hills
all nature gathers together
in peace directed by the Gods

A stream snakes through silent valley
nourishing wildlife and flowers
rabbits, deer, bear and cougars share
a place where death does not exist
waiting for humans to enter

It’s not easy to find this place
so few even believe the truth
belong to a different world
where daily life makes the heart deaf
to the sweet magic given to them

Following the hearts beaten path
to a valley serenely set
with natures natural wonders
while a steam sparkles with power
and takes you to loves’ Wishing Well

Wow, sounds like a lovely place of peace and contentment.

love the truth in these words.
"where only the sincere can find
when searching for eternal love"

You painted such calm serene visions in this place of never ending love.

Keep up the good work.

true love never looks after it's own interests

You make it all sound so wonderful, Karen, it is comparable to the legend of El Dorado.

hi startime, loved it very much, so persuasive and penentrating words, and above all a look at complexity of the world,

A stream snakes through silent valley
nourishing wildlife and flowers
rabbits, deer, bear and cougars share
a place where death does not exist
waiting for humans to enter

It’s not easy to find this place
so few even believe the truth
belong to a different world
where daily life makes the heart deaf
to the sweet magic given to them
thanks
