Life’s silent valleys

                                                              The dusky flavours
                                                          Of comfort in my heart
                                                             Whisper like breeze
                                                                In a lonely night
 
                                                                 The tiny boat
                                                            Of calm and passion
                                                            Flows in the rhythm
                                                            Of faded memories

                                                             All is not yet gone
                                                         The priceless old wine 
                                                         Idling in closed bottles
                                                        Bestows endless solace

                                                                Still not poor
                                                            I live in affluence
                                                             Of glorious past
                                                       Of struggle and pursuit

                                                              The rising sun
                                                          On the blue waters
                                                  Cherishes promise and hope
                                                         In life’s silent valleys
