Deep Valley

Oh, the deep valley of the heart Holding the secrets of the past The longing in the present The hope in the future uncharted. Layers of mud and rock slides Over seasons long past Have buried many tears and treasures Throughout the history of its life. But they have made the valley Even richer and more beautiful The river running across its spread Continues to feed it abundantly. As the sun glides over the valley The river sparkles in excitement Birds chirp and butterflies flutter For spring has arrived finally. The orange poppies happily wave In the gentle breeze sweeping tall grass Lilacs upon trees their scent so sweet White lilies bowing their heads in grace. The slopes dressed in evergreens Allowing some rest from the sun’s rays Offering shadows changing in shape As the days move to their eve. No one knew or could notice All the turmoil underneath That had accumulated over years Through all seasons and their caprices. At last peaceful is the valley For you have come to me Tears of joy I cry for this gift So long awaited and I am free. By CarolineCécile Copyright © 2007
