To sleeping hills

A morning walk with nature, something we take for granted

Fields so green ready to be discovered, walking this land
That anyone could discover, gaze across the field
To sleeping hills, watching and waiting

A mist gently floats about the sleeping hills
Like a blanket protecting the summit
The crisp air has a effervescence about it
The creek gleams as the sun reflects
Like a mirror to the morning
A fountain of reflections

Violets shy to the morning walkers
Along the banks, gently touch an opening bloom
Nature wears a morning smile
Greeting you with a perfumed walk

As the air warms, over the fresh running creek
Clamber over branches bent by nature
Weeping willows covered with emerald moss
Their story is never finished, it lingers on in nature

Above the forests trail, soft clouds
Float, gently touching kissing the forest
The rising sun creates beams of reflections
An arc to the heavens above
Gift wrapping the morning light
So proud

Morning light through a sleeping forest
The mountain now within sight
Like unwrapping a gift from the heavens above

After moving about for the past 4 yrs I finally settled in the hills of South Australia, (my home state) I am happy here plenty of walking for my dogs, and no body is too busy to stop and talk. Most of all no city noises
