Cactus Wren Grunge Art by kenne
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.

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.

“Hitching a Ride”
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.
— from “Sunday Morning” by Wallace Stevens
