fog laden valleys blanket my thoughts
as distant mountains stand serene
it's been awhile since i passed this way
and prettier than it's ever been
patchwork canefields lay in waiting
for the harvester to reap their tare
as magpie geese forage the roadside
working hard to get their share
the morning sun greets the fog
to paint colours in the day
while drifting high in the sky
falcons scour diligently for their prey
recent rains have left the farms
green as green can be
and i hope i pass this way again
to once again appreciate what i see....
