Mountain Nights
There is unbroken quietness,
In the mountains, in the night;
A stillness even thoughts can't break,
Nor shatter as if light.
The night's protective blackness,
Like a velvet wrap is worn,
An embrace of one's whole body,
Sensuous and warm.
The stars ... a million dancing lights,
Choose one and it is yours;
One is enough ... please leave the rest,
For poets and philosophers.
A scent of wild Jasmine,
Pervades the soft night air;
An intoxicant so strong,
No match found anywhere.
Evening music of the woods,
Rustling sylvan chords;
God, I think, is whispering,
Hush! Don't miss His words!
Close your eyes in solitude,
Your Lord and you alone,
You've caught a glimpse of Heaven ...
You've caught a glimpse of Home.

When I found this poem, it brought back many memories about the
time I spent eight days in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.
Ginny graciously granted me permission to use her beautiful poetry
on this page and I cannot thank her enough because it is perfect
for what I had in mind. Thank you so much beautiful lady......please,

awesome.
I am happiest when I am outdoors admiring the beauty of nature. It always amazes me when I realize the wonderful and beautiful gift God has given to all of us. Sometimes, I see something so beautiful, I find tears sliding down my face and feeling a sense of awe and wonderment.
This is why I decided to start my "Beauty of Nature" Quilt. If you would like to contribute, just email me a 130 x 130 square to: EMAIL ME with your quilt square and a link back to your site....
