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.”
— William Blake

Is this poppy art,
or just poppycock?
I don’t know,
do you?
I know,
my questions
are just
bullshit!

It’s Still Early, But Mexican Poppies Are Popping Out Around The Rocks! — Image by kenne
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.
