PRAIRIE

© 2000 Jonathan Edwards

a prairie is like a deep blue sea

I rode along the Mississippi last week end. It was long before I could do it again and it felt like so much have changed already, or maybe I am growing old. But it was strange that I thought of a prairie when I saw the great river across the country. I was also full of melancholy like there was a deep past that I lost somehow. I am not a man of words, if only I can tell what I felt (and as it is now). But what a thought and what a beauty is there! God bless America (really!)
