A time is when the blue valley sings on a starry night,
and the tallest tree on the peak of the hill
lowers the branches and tilts the head.
The sunken notes in the deepest dark,
a deep and troubled soul
has grasped at the roots of the tree.
and the tallest tree on the peak of the hill
lowers the branches and tilts the head.
The sunken notes in the deepest dark,
a deep and troubled soul
has grasped at the roots of the tree.

- If the trees are yellow, why his valley might not be blue? My secret valley near the river, is red deep ...That's the way I see, feel it right now!😊
REPLY 26w - That reminds me of my childhood stories.. My imaginations my drawings ... Lovely mam.. Thank u
REPLY 26w - +gabriela irimescu How well he has graded the slopes in terms of the yellow, amber and red. You are right in calling it a secret red because he has subdued the red magically by pushing it to the bottom of the densely overgrown trees on the steep slopes of the hill.
REPLY 25w - +Yasmeen Patel Now that you said it, I have begun to notice that there is a childlike simplicity in the way he applies the colors in bold patches and creates well-defined visuals.
