as a compensation
for the freedom of thought
which they seldom use.

The obvious is the hardest thing of all
to point out to anyone
who has genuinely lost sight of it.

The artist is the most interesting of all phenomena,
for he represents creativity, the definition of man.

Despairing of God
I went to the desert
to seek my own saint.

A fun bird to watch
In the Sonoran desert —
Hear the starter noise?

Once in every lifetime
a little bird may come
alone and forgotten
knocked down by the sun.
Every man may choose
to turn and walk away
or take the bird into his hand
and bid him stay.

What wild creature is more accessible
to our eyes and ears,
as close to us and everyone in the world,
as universal as a bird?”

Several so she can pick
The one that she likes.

Springtime in Sabino Canyon
brings out the new while
recycling the old.
The white winged doves
have returned awaiting
saguaro buds to bloom.
The sound of mating calls
go out, returned creating
echoes in the canyon.
The pace of life in high gear
as nature puts on a show
in the desert’s spring festival.

Cactus Wren On Car In Sabino Canyon Parking Lot (January 9, 2016) — Image by kenne
She says, ‘I am content when wakened birds,
Before they fly, test the reality
Of misty fields, by their sweet questionings;
But when the birds are gone, and their warm fields
Return no more, where, then, is paradise?’
There is not any haunt of prophecy,
Nor any old chimera of the grave,
Neither the golden underground, nor isle
Melodious, where spirits gat them home,
Nor visionary south, nor cloudy palm
Remote on heaven’s hill, that has endured
As April’s green endures; or will endure
Like her remembrance of awakened birds,
Or her desire for June and evening, tipped
By the consummation of the swallow’s wings.
