The blossom opens and opens,
till it is no bigger than nature allows.
At darkness, the blossom embraces
its parts as in bed,
two sleeping lovers.

The drifting sands
hug and cover the cactus
showing only its light
not letting me see
its shadows embracing
my passions intensely.

Cactus Blossom In The Utah Desert — Image by kenne
I dream of a quiet man
who explains nothing and defends
nothing, but only knows
where the rarest wildflowers
are blooming, and who goes,
and finds that he is smiling
not by his own will.Â

Even though the southwest is experiencing a mega drought, nature finds a way to continue life cycles.
“Drought conditions in the West, particularly the desert Southwest, have intensified over the past 45 years,
with less precipitation and longer and more frequent dry spells between storms. The Southwestern deserts
that include Tucson were slammed the hardest by far.” Arizona Daily Star
