“Desert Silhouette”
Desert Silhouette
A dead saguaro
Stands silhouetted
Against the morning sky
A darken symbol of life
As a lone hiker looks up
From the trail below
Still in the canyon shadow
Pondering the meaning
Of this dark creature
As shadows move
Down the canyon walls
Vanishing the silhouette
And any creature thoughts
Only to leave behind
The remains of what was
A Sonoran desert giant.

I’m on my way next week to Tucson. I love the floor of the desert and the Saguaro are so defining of this area. Nice poem.
Enjoy your time here!
Nice.
