Silence (Free verse) by crooked_smile
Sometimes talking is over rated
Words haplessly spewed forth
With no real meaning or care
They are fuzzing up the screen, making the messages hard to under stand
Mother nature; she doesnât need talk
She doesnât say a word
As she paints the backdrops to our lives
Yet her messages are clear
Clearer that any message that we have haplessly spewed forth
She doesnât need words to tell you,
As you flop down in the field and close your eyes
That you are happy, content and that everything is right
The soft warm grass, and insects in their dirt kingdoms and palaces
The light breeze and radiating sunlight gently caressing your face
This is all she needs
She hasnât said a word and yet
We all understand
She doesnât need to vocalize to you the fact
That as you run bare foot through the dew and grass with only the suns
last rays to guide you
That you are feeling rejuvenated and innocent and full of life
The damp grass that is deep green and cool to the touch and lush and
full and soft
This is all she needs
She hasnât said a word and yet
We all understand
She doesnât need to talk to you let you know
That as you sit on the gray rock by the quiet river
That you are happy and peaceful and feeling one with the earth
The trees with their thousands of leaves that are green
The coolness of the world, the scent of a damp earth, the placidness of
the water
This is all she needs
She hasnât said a word and yet
We all understand
