Overlooking the balcony from the valley,
Morning aurora falling on my face,
Sitting and sipping an exquisite cup of tea,
With nothing and everything on my mind,
Staring at the curling stone pathways,
Leading to make the cairn,
Scintillating sunrays through the branches of the trees,
Falling on the nature trails into the woods,
The stupendous landscape and the hilltop with beautiful houses,
Meandering streams flowing through dense foliage,
The silence around me was loud,
Loud enough to remind me that I was in the lap of nature
Silence, I learned, was the most beautiful sound.
Being an itinerant soul, I am in constant search for quiter abodes,
I smile, looking at the people smiling here without communicating,
In these quite little towns, at the edge of the world,
I find these simple and overwhelming hearts who make me feel right at home
And never make me feel tired of coming to these little corners in the hills.
