tiny big valley

tiny valley big so big
grass of blue lakes of green
tiny big down-upside trees
night and day spring to spring

nothing&noone comes to tiny big valley
nothing walks the roses
&noone paints the sky with love
night and day spring to spring

nothing&noone and someone and
everyone comes to tiny big valley
nothing loves noone n roses more
night and day spring to spring

tiny valley big so big
when nothing&noone stopped to breathe
a place of beauty sky of love
night and day spring to spring
