Which
Only a few clouds appear on a brilliant summer day in the Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona.
Looking right and left
I see two dusty pathways—
which one shall I take?

Rattled
A padlock helps to keep tools safe in a shed at Robert J. Moody Demonstration Garden, Yuma, Arizona.
Wind, relentless wind!
I’m rattled by the padlock
swinging to and fro.
New Path
A labyrinth in Phoenix, Arizona attracts many truth seekers.
I choose a new path
before the wind can erase
yesterday’s footprints.

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?

Discipline
A huge stone nestles in the shade of a pine tree at the Japanese Friendship Garden, Phoenix, Arizona.
It takes tons of discipline just to be a stone,
Sitting in the sun and rain, sitting all alone,
Sitting there ignored and shunned as the years roll by.
Don’t you wish you were a stone? “No, I don’t, not I.”
~~~ ## ~~ ## ~~
When the old stone sings,
even crows in the pine tree
stop wagging their tongues.

Tangled
An orange tree stands in need of pruning in a Phoenix, Arizona backyard.
Through tangled branches,
who can see the waxing moon,
even at midnight?

Locked
The doors are locked on this chapel in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico.
No one comes to pray
at the little stone chapel,
but a blackbird sings.

Blazing
The chapel at Mission San Xavier del Bac, Tucson, Arizona can be seen through a wrought-iron fence.
Blazing midday sun—
the chapel bells are silent,
but one wren still sings.

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.

Lockdown Longing
Oh, for some tasty ice cream from this little shop in Yuma, Arizona!
When the lockdown ends,
let’s go out for some ice cream
with a dozen friends.
