Maintaining my balance
as I observed the valley below
a thought came to me
making my spirit glow
Imagining the small town
contained the secret of life
it’s essence flowing upward
all humans and wildlife
The town
choosing to live in peace
the smell of barbecues
flavorful things to eat
Sharing the abundance
sounds of laughter fill the air
the heart sings love songs
vibrant thoughts with a flair
A storm forms in the mountains
thunder and lightening causing a flood
residents bind together
rebuilding with love
The sun rises again
the air is clean and crisp
obtaining messages from the community
from prayers and lips
Leaning back against a tree
thankful for being given a choice
singing of the beauty surrounding me
in a sweet sounding voice

Lovely poem. It makes me think of a little community near Asheville, NC called Rice Cove. We used to have a home there up a mountain and each day we could hear chimes from a little church in the valley bubble and echo all around the mountain. Thanks for connecting me with that memory.
Thank you. The little community of Rice Cove sounds like a wonderful and peaceful place. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day!
