Valley Of The Sun As the sun begins to waken in the morning with a yawn It stretches out its golden arms in a glorious shining dawn Underneath southwestern skies there lies a peaceful place Where nature still is undisturbed in all her wondrous grace There’s a valley there beside a lake so peaceful and serene Where flowers grow with deeper hues than you have ever seen Animals are plentiful where the clear cool waters run And the native people there call it the Valley of the Sun The otters frolic playfully before they stop and look For fish and other things to eat in the waters of a brook Antelope and deer are found in overwhelming numbers And on a sunny ledge a lazy mountain lion slumbers But the most unique of all the sights within this place to see Is the herd of wild mustangs that still are roaming free They graze among the grass without a worry or a care Until the lead horse smells the scent of danger in the air The herd then moves in unison while racing with the wind Across the valley floor they fly until they reach the end You can hear their pounding hoof beats as majestically they run Across the golden grasslands through the Valley of the Sun |

I want to hear the wild mustangs run. I want to see them and breathe them. I want to be in this place -- and you took me there. Thank you. aziza |

Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece with us. You always manage to sweep the reader up with your imagery and carry us away, to a place with no worries, if only for a short while. Hugs~Nancy ~Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile~ |
