The Valley Spirit
by The Maui Taoist
In a place apart from time and space
the valley spirit lives
a daughter of compassion, a smile upon her face
from her heart she gives
with dignity and grace
Dark as the earth
cool as a mountain stream
refreshing as a summer breeze
and delicate as lace
Amidst a sea of mundanity
the lotus flower blooms
an omen of compassionate love, a gift to humanity
will the people realize
and accept it with humility?
Floating like a cloud
enigmatic as smoke
profound as life itself
no one knows of its frailty
Not here nor there but everywhere
the valley spirit roams
spreading peace and joy without a care
will you welcome her into your home
and cherish her as something rare?
She is love
she is grace
and she is yours,
if you treat her fair
So very lovely are these words you’ve put together. Thank you for your gift of sharing them!!!
