Analysis of The Valley.
I observe a valley
Beyond a turbulent sea,
A place of beauty where
I desire to be.
It lies akin to a
Work of art and
I regret that the sea
Keeps us apart.
But there are days
Via the use of boating
Arriving to experience
God’s nature of loving.
For wildlife is supreme
Especially during the
Summer bringing forth
A sense of wonder.
An encounter with nature
Generating truth and
Beauty from the source
Of all.
