Hidden Valley
A private sanctuary withheld from naming.
I won't disclose the name.
It is a hidden valley
deep in the heart of Chile
near the Argentine border.
I won't disclose the name
of this one.
This one is for my heart,
to lock away and save for
days when I need inspiration.
The valley lies hidden
by walls of mountain,
flowing with glacier.
My friend, le chat, and I
watched a tranquil sunrise
melt a frozen glacier into
tender hues of peach
and apricot.
