Cactus Blossom –Photo-Artistry by kenne
Cactus Flower
Sun, glare, heat, sweat
Dry, hot, summer, parched
Thirst
Brightly colored blossoms excite, invite
Gems
Longing for a hug
Not emotionally available
Sage green so tall and free, yet not a tree
Blooming high towards the desert sky
Far out of reach, not open to being that close
Pining for snuggles
Spikes
Burning desire to reciprocate your grandeur, but you don’t answer
Thorns
Glorious beauty
Why why why not for me?
Someday
Will I ever be, your bee?

“As we know, there are lessons to be learned from history.
Hope to be derived from hardships faced before.
We’ve gone through bad times before and survived, even thrived.
History has shown us the strength and durability of the human spirit,
In the end, it is our idealism and our courage, and our commitment to one another
–what we have in common–that will save us.”
— from “The Four Winds” by Kristin Hannah

Cactus Flower — Photo-Artistry by kenne
“I feel that a real living form is the natural result
of the individual’s effort to create the living thing
out of the adventure of his spirit into the unknown —
it has where experienced something — felt something —
it has not understood — and from that experience
comes the desire to make the unknown — known —
Making the unknown — known — in terms of one’s medium
is all-absorbing — if you stop to think of the form — as form
you are lost — The artist’s form must be inevitable —
You mustn’t think you won’t succeed –“
— Georgia O’Keeffe in a letter to Sherwood Anderson, 1923

This cactus flower is from a potted cactus that has been blooming since mid-April — hard to believe, but loving it!

“Yellow Cactus Flower” — Image by kenne
Flowers are not meant
to last forever,
so we cherish
the moments.
Most cactus flowers
last only a day
leaving behind
beautiful memories
for those fortunate
to gaze upon them
in the early
morning sun
while others
share the moment
painting
what they see.
Georgia O’Keeffe, Yellow Cactus Flower, 1929
