My Valley Of Gold |

~* My Valley Of Gold *~I walk across the hillside, no destination in mind. A gentle breeze before me, behind me mountains I find. Spring flowers pose in sunlight, along the meadow's floor, The scent of new grass growing, so much I do adore. The quiet sway of newborn leaves, a meditative sound. A rush of inspiration calls and wraps itself around. My many thought of wonder of the beauty out our doors, If only for a moment, we put away our chores. I lay upon the water bank and watched the mountain spring, And waited for a lullaby, a bird wished to sing. I sat alone and thought about how hours slip away, Before we ever notice the quiet in a day. I promise to remember this moment when I go. The simple sound of softness and colors all below. For if life keeps me hurried and I fail to give the time, I'll have this moment always, forever in my mind. Found treasures in this meadow I'd love to share with all, As I walked across a hillside, no destination called. The simple things in life are free, for at least I’m told, And on this day I am very rich in this my valley of gold. . . . ~*art: www.all.wall.com*~ Banff, Alberta, Canada ~*~ I write ~ Therefore I am ~*~ Homepage: http://www.mysteria-poetry.cityslide.com/contents/contents.cfm/451673 [This message has been edited by Mysteria (edited 05-11-2001).] |

"I'll have this moment always, forever in my mind." Stored treasures... to sustain our minds in bleak times. *S* Beautifully written, Mysteria! |

The valley before you is washed with light, With gold, brown, blue water, and forest green, May your travels through be happy and bright And may you report as well all you’ve seen. Gloom |

A lovely , lovely poem. I've been to Banff a couple of times. I'd like to go back. It was breathtaking with the mountain looming over the lake. Joyce [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (edited 05-12-2001).] |

You've made me homesick, not for Canada, but rather for Montana. Similar in some respects. Gentle write. "I am not now that which I have been." |

Saunni: I am so very glad you liked this and yes, nature is our best stress relief for sure. Joyce: Any time you go back we will have to get together - I would love that! Julian: I know it makes you homesick, sorry! There is something about mountains that is so peaceful and beckoning. ~*~ Thank you all for enjoying a part of my life that I could never do without! ~*~ |
