Valley of beautiful flowers

“In all my mountain wanderings I had not seen a more beautiful flower than this Primula, the fine raindrops clung to its soft petals like galaxies of seed-pearls and frosted its leaves with silver."
- Quote by British mountaineer Frank S Smythe, on his discovery of ‘Valley of flowers’. 
-----------------------------------------------------
Cradled between mountains
Valley sleeps in beauty
Swaying to chosen winds
Smiling to the blessed eyes
Beaming divine silence
Only clouds caress them
Riot of changing hues
Blooming just, right on cue

Hi Thriveni, I love this poem! It is gentle. Each line tells the story of this amazing valley filled with flowers. I can see the beauty of each primrose and experience the perfume through your words! What a sight that must have been when discovered! If this is for a contest, best wishes, my friend! Sending blessings of spring flowers!

(available free in Internet archive) Thank you for your kind visit and generous words, priceless for me. I am grateful to you for the blessings dear friend. Thank you.
