A Moment in Thyme #99wordstory

Suzanne

As we rested our weary bodies, no leaf stirred in the absence of wind.

The sun, a relentless force, pours its warmth from a cloudless sky, gently kissing our faces with its arid, affectionate touch. The only audible presence is the persistent, rhythmic hum of bees. Engrossed in their vital task, flying from one blossom to another, paying no heed to intruders like us. The air is saturated with the rich, potent scent, intensified by the unyielding sun.

It’s a heady, intoxicating fragrance that briefly wraps us in a tranquil cocoon. No rush to extract ourselves from it’s embrace.
