Landscape

To be lost in Her magnificence:
pristine and pleasant
alive every moment
renewing and moving...

To see the charm:
The charm of an Idyllic Spirit...

As I wander through
widespread wilderness...

My eyes' lenses capture
the flourishing bucolic beauty
of a breathtaking view:
a panoramic terrain of rugged hills
surrounded by grassy hummocks
beside a still lake - gleaming, 
reflecting the highland and steep hills
in yellow dazzling sunlight.

The foreground is adorned
with sunlit grey pebbles
glistening in crystal clear water
of the shallow unruffled blue lake.

The silent brown hill:
rough, rocky and lofty;
Wildflowers and bushes
embellish the distant ravines.

The steep towering hill
seems to whisper a secret
to the fleecy white clouds 
in the clear blue sky -

A secret no one heard thus far
in heaven or earth...

Hello Anitha, the secret was whispered so low that no one could hear what was said. Hugs Darlene
