My Valley home
The crack of dawn A mist and greyness Blankets above and around me The sun rises and lifts the mood Searing through the dullness in my sight It clears and from my house i can see Green mountains and houses dimly lit Dotted tightly across the valley Buzzing with activity
Midday and a hazy scene Continues to greet me Sahara dust covering the atmosphere Bringing with it, a discomfort in the air That stings the back of the throat Burns the eyes and blocks the nose All too difficult to breathe in this stuff Retreat inside to a sealed room Is definitely the only solution this afternoon
Evening and the sun begins to slip Behind the horizon and incoming ships The daily heat subsiding, replaced now by A refreshing cool breeze that blows across my face Comfort now, a welcomed grace Birds noisy chatter add to a relaxed atmosphere Enriching our lives, to be fair Darkness creeping in gently across this land A hundred thousand candlelight glows flickering Emitting from houses, peacefully settling in for the night Once again captivating all who see Our land in its entirety
This island is my haven This valley is my home My piece of heaven on earth My earthly material love My safe comfort space My salutation of these better days When waking and sleeping is all a gift In this matrix ting, we call life To the painter i thee praise A canvas with a priceless view Ensuring all that witness Are left in awe, wondering What’s next in store for these beautiful shores
