A sunflower blooms at Robert J. Moody Demonstration Garden, Yuma, Arizona.
When sunflowers bloom,
sparrows light up the garden
with fresh morning songs.

Listening
Hikers can see for miles on the trail above Pipe Spring National Monument near Fredonia, Arizona.
Pausing on the trail,
I listen to my heartbeat
and a scolding crow.

Stage
A retired tractor lives out its last days in the tranquility of the Robert J. Moody Demonstration Garden, Yuma, Arizona.
An old green tractor
becomes a shadowy stage
for spring’s danse macabre.

Shady Place
Afternoon shadows settle in a drainage ditch in Yuma, Arizona.
In a shady place
I stop to rest and listen—
a mourning dove sings.

Cloudless
A clear blue sky and some gnarled branches welcome visitors to the Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona.
Cloudless April day—
I walk in desolation,
consoled by birdsong.

Nectar
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
Will you find nectar
beyond the mountain’s shadow,
desert butterfly?

Watching
Cholla cactus at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona
For cactus blossoms
I keep watching and waiting—
a crow watches me.

Garden
Tired of politics,
I seek solitude’s garden
to restore my soul.

and a raven’s cry
