Lupines whisper blue,
poppies flicker like old flames—
May remembers you.

Desert wakes in bloom—
colors spill on silent sand,
spring sings without rain.

“Sonoran Spring”
The desert blooms in whispered gold,
Where cacti wear their crowns so bold.
Ocotillo flames in red delight,
And poppies spark the morning light.
The saguaros lift their arms in praise,
To sun-soft winds and lengthened days.
A hummingbird, a buzzing thread,
Weaves springtime through the riverbed.
Where once was dust, now color clings—
In Sonoran spring, the silence sings.

I’ve been down this trail
With or without wildflowers
Certain trails stand out.

These long-legged waders have long necks,
thin bills, and striking patterns. They forage i
n shallow water for small invertebrates.
In the Sonoran Desert, they often nest around artificial ponds.
