la vallee des cloches - ravel

tinkling rustle of the trees
swaying in the gentle breeze
pealing in whispers
sighing of songs
sang once upon a time

by the aged silhouette of
birds dreaming
grass grazing

by the soft chiming of
ferns chanting
flowers dancing

by the sky when she
kisses lightly the valley,
painting a canvas of colour
misted up with dew
tainted with smiles laughter
tears and fears

the artist's brush
tied to a bell
