From the top of the mountains <br />We breathed the pure air <br />Enjoying the stunning, awe-inspiring views, <br />That stretched around there. <br />Coming down to the green valley <br />We got involved in the breeze around, <br />And walked by the little brook <br />Singing together melodious sounds. <br />The sweet scent of flowers and bushes <br />Accompanied us all the way long <br />Allowing for a quiet reflection, <br />In stillness and love, <br />Away from the throng. <br /> <br />(May 2010)<br /><br />Maria C.
