Breathtaking

William David

High on a hilltop, I stand and gaze below, a peaceful valley, draped in a blanket of green. Populated densely with wildflowers, oh how the colors glow, with some brilliant colors I don’t think I’ve ever seen, only out West can such flowers grow. So many shades and hues to paint a picture so pristine, bright yellows and oranges galore, the reddest reds and there’s purple blossomed bushes by the score.

In this valley, a river runs through it, in places it runs fast, some places nice and slow. It’s a kind of vista I will not forget, such a place, I’m sorry, many will never know. Breathtaking, this scene, I’m trying to convey. Enchanting, oh how I’d like to stay, and let this scene,… so serene, keep on taking my breath away.
