Losing a few nuances
Creating others.

Things of Poetry
Poppies
line the canyon trail,
brightening
each hiker’s way.
Passing greetings
share the joy
as the morning sun
intensifies
the canyon colors
brilliantly reflected
by each poppy,
the things of
O’Keeffe poetry.

Can’t Wait! Leave a comment
“Can’t Wait” — Image by kenne
The two images in this collage were taken January 31, 2012, in the Tucson Mountains west of Tucson. We haven’t had a chance to hike in the Tucson Mountains yet this year, but the wildflowers tend to be earlier there compared to the Santa Catalina Mountains where we do most of our hiking. Since I can’t wait till we have a chance to hike in the Tucson Mountains this spring, I’m sharing there from five years ago. (Click Here For Flickr Slideshow)

Most Sonoran desert wildflowers are annuals, which are short-lived even when there’s timely rain. Sabino Canyon has had no rain since December 20th. Oddly enough, limited rain and a short lifespan helps ensure survival in the desert. With the lack of rain and warmer than normal temperatures the annuals have been quickly sprouting and blowing before the dryness and heat kills the plant.

“To see a world
in a grain of sand
and heaven in a wildflower.
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
and eternity in an hour.”

Desert Flower
by James F. Harrington
You are like a garden oasis,
blooming in the dry desert.
Your heart is warmer than the center of the sun.
Your soul glitters like moonlight!
I want to take you into my arms,
rush to my white Arabian charger,
and together we will ride
into the dark blue indigo night!
We would gallop past golden minarets,
through all of time,
past all memories,
until we reach the peaceful,
quiet serenity of Jannat.
There we would settle down,
under the soothing,
cool shade of jade colored olive trees.
I would sing to thee my songs of love.
We would lay on a carpet that possessed magical qualities.
Ripe fruit would be in abundance.
We would be forever in paradise.

Suddenly It’s Spring 4 comments
Suddenly it’s spring
Colors of winter
Turning into yesterday’s
Dark inner soul.
Suddenly it’s spring
Winter’s fading landscape
Exploding bright colors
Nature’s paint by numbers.
Suddenly it’s spring
Renewing old dreams
My wanderlust drifting
Opened to the sky.
Suddenly it’s spring
Nature’s voices sing
Awaken longing spirits
Laced with poetry.
Suddenly it’s spring
Tamed love burns
Attracted by fire colors
A virgin again.
Suddenly it’s spring
Fresh silky skin
Milk and honey
Luring new loves.
Suddenly it’s spring . . . again.

Capturing The Moment — Lavender, Blue And Yellow 5 comments

Lavender, Blue, and Yellow
Standing tall above
the golden poppies
and blue lupines
grows a warlike flower,
several inflorescences
branching from the summit,
near the dusty paths
of the Sutherland Trail.
Bees move independently
through the fields
of blue and yellow,
only the diligent
tunneling into
the cushion of lavender
before the arrival
of the painted ladies.
