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!

Smythe, who discovered and named it as valley of flowers has written a book by the same name where he explains his expedition, dear poet, you will love it. (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.
