Notes About The Poem

Countryside


*Inspired by photo


Layers of mountains hold stories untold
The golden sunset begins to unfold
Answers are so far away,
from contemplation at the end of the day
Dots of orange flowers look forward on the hill
I must have missed it, while I was sitting still
It is here, where I needed to be
In the silence of the countryside, welcoming me

Dear Heidi, Oh, arriving somewhere inside yourself after missing what was right in front of you. Amen! I love how the poem doesn’t rush. It sits still, like you did, and lets the quiet do the talking. Autumn Blessings, Dear Heidi, Daniel
