Follow
A path leads to distant mountains in California’s Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
Hearing a blackbird
sing on the misty mountain,
I follow its voice.

Longing
Amid the sparse vegetation of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California, a lone tree stands out.
Triple-digit day—
a tree in the wilderness
longs for winter’s rains.

Lonely Place
A blush spreads across the sky at day’s end in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
In this lonely place,
where will you rest for the night,
weary little dove?

Scream
An almost cloudless day makes it easy for raptors to hunt in California’s Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
A few passing clouds
can’t mute a hawk’s piercing scream—
the field mice tremble.

Blue Monday: Rainbow
A rainbow brightens part of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
Even a rainbow brighter than bright
Can never begin to outshine the night;
But hang it high in a desert place
And watch the barrenness glow with grace!
