My Lost HOrizon I live in a valley, lost between two holy mountains at the foot of the temple of god. Some villages are poor, without fresh fish or flowers - my village has both to share. Once a great general stopping for water admired our chrysanthemums. Daily the gongs chant and hum bathing our valley in cool waves of air. From the temple above rise the holy men's prayers like great flocks of white doves. I live in a valley, lost between two holy mountains like a river that wanders alone. |

my goodness, look at the beauty that was sitting, waiting, quietly, for someone to read... wonderful... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

THIS is a finely crafted, well written poem. You've shown an economy of language that we don't see often, very well done, I am impressed! What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |
