one bee stitching through the pink—
air holds every move.

the wind forgets where it goes,
poppy does not care.

tiny curls of yellow flame
dancing through dry grass.

spring arranged in patchwork light—
blossoms held in frame.

brief visitor on the breeze,

Lupine Blue on Bigelow’s Bristlehead — Image by kenne
Radiating out of the darkness
on a desert spring morning
stars on the ground replacing
the stars in the clear desert sky
evidence there is heaven on earth.

The only wisdom we can hope to acquire
Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless.

Purple Showers (Ruellia humilis) — Image by kenne
“here’s the thing about wildflowers
they take root wherever they are
grow strong through the wind, rain, pain,
sunshine, blue skies and starless nights
they dance, even when it seems there
is nothing worth dancing for they bloom
with or without you”

Spring Wildflowers — Image by kenne
Wildflower
I found you in the desert
And in the murky gulch
Through the trees
And in between
The mountains’ ivory clutch
Wildflower
I’ve put you in my home
And my faucet is the draught
With which you drink
Like river stream
And early morning trout
Wildflower
I have made a mistake
You grow on hills
Where we don’t stay
But in my house
What saves now kills
Wildflower
I let you go

Rusted old medal
Junco sees it as a perch
Still has a function.
