Valley of Peaceful Ideals

Looking up I see the craggy hills glowing in the sun way above this green lush valley….smiling I walk under a mantle of tall trees, skipping along a path of dense leaves and flowers The air is filled with the music of nature the buzzing of the bees as they go about their toil. Clicking noises of the crickets and other insects breaking the peace but enhances the atmosphere Brushing against the lavender shrubs, as I walk filling the air with a scintillating perfume. Running my fingers through the flowers raising them to my nose, so pungent, nature at its best. This valley was once between two coal stacks Until the day the pits were closed. Nature has returned it to its former glory A place of beauty and peaceful ideals Penned 29 September 2017
