No Words

July 26, 2022 by Nadine Gordon

I have no words today.

I’ve been off…

Gathering;

Sights,

Sounds,

Smells,

From an acrid landscape once purple on the horizon now turned emerald green.

Humidity drips from the atmosphere, as wildflowers dance and sway, perfuming the breeze.

The air is filled with music the song birds sing as they perch on branches laden with berries these bushes bring.

Bees hum in harmony in tune with the song, collecting sweet nectar as they work along.

On the grassland beyond, graze antelope and deer.

And, a coyote and pups yip happily from their den near here.

I lay back quietly on this quilt made of grass and soak in the scene as I contemplate what words would describe what happiness means.

So grateful am I for the serenity this Prairie Oasis brings.

Yes, I must apologize for my lack of words,

And, as for descriptions,

There’s simply not one single thing to describe,

Peace

Earth.

I’m off today, gathering – words.

I frankly think you had just the right number of words! So lovely, Nadine.

    Seriously. The words you chose were lovely. And it doesn’t have to be long to be appreciated 🙂 (often quite the opposite is true, with some writers! 😉 )

For someone with no words, I like what you have to say. Spending a day out on the prairie sounds inviting to me.

I loved this Nadine. Your words were perfect! There’s nothing that’s quite like the prairies at this time of year.
