Blue Ridge Mountains

Formed by ancient glaciers and seas,

these mountains and

valleys soothe my

tired, troubled soul.

 

Their strength, their stillness feed me and

I delight in

their secret treasures,

striped wintergreen,

 

jewel weed, Indian pipe, and

spotted mushroom,

monk’s cap lily,

and spongy moss.

    Nothing like the peacefulness of nature. I am so afraid it will eventually be destroyed.
