Fireflies dance in cystal falls of lunar light
flowing softly down the Blue Ridge mountains.
When the moon is full and in its darkest hour
the whip-poor-wills bathe in lunar fountains.

In the mandarin orange light of dawn
as the sun awakens the mourning doves,
Wildflowers bloom near the serpentine streams
and blossoming trees of purple foxglove.

Fog of the mountaintops bloom like a rose
as the birds and the flowers intermingle.
Raindrops paint sculptured mountains blue
brush painting ridges with periwinkle.

Beneath canopies of hickory and oak trees
exotic feathers and harmony in the leaves.
Blue Ridge mountains a painting of appease
in the tranquility of a moonlight eve.

~Victoria



I was adored once too.
William Shakespeare

This is an exquisitely crafted poem, dear Victoria. And the quoted line is a real top performance!

Hope you are doing fine, it's a while that you do not visit. You are missed.
