Desert you are dry
Flowers struggle but blooming
Walking in beauty

Breeze, sun, birds, water
Whistling through a grass blade
The world becomes quiet

See the brown desert
Flowers bloom if they are seen
If only eyes see

A blade of grass grows
Sacred in simplicity
When it dies, we die

The flower of self
No self, yields the biggest bloom
Of impermanence

Lone coyote's cry
You better keep off my turf
It was a bad day

Seeds planted in Spring
Bring wildflowers in Summer
A small patch of joy

Waiting on sunrise
Singing of the desert sand
Echos quietude

Crouching  cold in snow
Prudence puffed her feathers
Winter's parting blast
