Desert Stillness
On mahogany milkweed stems,
where desert hushes sunlit gems,
a fritillary folds her wings—
orange fire with softened rings.
She does not rush, the bloom holds still,
Two hearts at peace on granite hill.
The air is warm, the shadows small,
no need to rise, no fear to fall.
Bright as flame, yet calm as stone,
she rests, yet claims the day her own.
In that brief hush, the wild agrees—
grace is quiet among the leaves.

HAPPY 4TH — Cooper’s Hawk On Sabino Canyon Visitor Center Flag Pole — Image by kenne
Happy 4th
Perched above the waving stripes,
the hawk keeps watch in desert light.
Still as stone, he scans the morning’s
quiet skies with sunlit eyes.
No fireworks yet, no marching band—
just wind across the canyon sand.
The flag below him snaps and sways,
a rhythm old as freedom’s days.
This is his perch, this pole, this place,
the wild in balance, sky, and grace.
On Independence Day, he stays—
a silent oath in feathered blaze.
