Dawn spread iridescence hues,
Dancing on nooks and crevices
Of the high mountains.

Down in the verdurous vale
In nooks of winding paths
Grew all sorts of fruit 
Like honeyberries, blueberries,
Jewelweed and yarrow.  

I was more interested in the berries, 
And picked as much as I could.
Before the shy sun rose to a great height.
No one could bear the heat of noon.
I betook myself to my cabin
Where a northern breeze blew.
I took a shower and examined the berries.
I could dance with bliss.
Winter will provide sumptuous jam.

Oh, I love this one, beautiful description and imagery that is relaxing to read; very nicely penned and I had to "fav" this one.

Home made jam from freshly picked fruits, sounds delicious Victor. The surrounding scenery you describe appears beautiful to the reader too… Belle

Mother Nature is the sweetest of shelter.. a giver and a healer.. Thirsty souls feed on its quenching fountains of Beauty.. and on its plentiful land and haven of peace and solitude.. Your wonderful poetry renders more than what is put into words! Always an immense pleasure to read your profound and unique poetry, Victor.. My deepest regards and blessings.

- Nothing is like homemade jam (many years since I picked berries ... but when my back was "young" I often did) - A lovely refreshing poem, Victor :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

You talk of mid-day heat, our worldwide soaring temperatures are testament to these two lines. A beautiful poem my dear friend. I love berries also. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
