This was written a couple of years ago on my best vacation ever. As far as I am concered West Virginia truly is almost heaven.

In the peaceful Bluestone Valley,

God tucked me in bed last night,

He pulled the blue West Virginia skies about me

Gathered pink clouds above the mountain tops,

Then He sent the bluebirds to sit atop the flagpole

To sing me a song of happiness,

Within this peaceful valley, all was serene

As I layed my head upon a feather pillow,

Drifting off to dream;

Then the hand of morning touched me,

As sunbeams gently woke me

At the begging of a brand new day

Bidding me to rise at daybreak,

To look out the cabin windows

To discover the quiet hidden secrets,

Of those early morning hours.

Beyond the cabin window,

The meadow was dressed in misty blue,

The whole valley blanketed in a foggy mist

As single file, a doe was leading her young ones,

Across the valley to a choice spot

That of crabapples growing by a stream,

I watched those dear creatures

As they ate their fill and until,

One by one they walked back

By the same path by which they came,

Behind the trees and hills;

Soon the sun had evaporated

The valley's hazy mist,

As the sun emerged completely in the sky,

Then the bluebirds I had observed the night before,

Took their faithful post,

To sing a happy song once more.

SongBird~
This is absolutely replete with beautiful imagery~

Thank you ... thank you for sharing.

Today, in the back meadow of my home ... I saw two deer, a buck and a doe ... wouldn't you know I didn't have my camera on me ???
Darn the luck .... but, I'll be waiting when they return.
