Sunflowers
Sunflowers blossom at Robert J. Moody Demonstration Garden, Yuma, Arizona.
On a wintry day
in southern Arizona
sunflowers still bloom.

Snowflakes
Palm fronds seem to pierce the winter clouds at Robert J. Moody Demonstration Garden, Yuma, Arizona.
Deepening winter—
I look in vain for snowflakes
on the palm tree’s fronds.

New Home
A newly built birdhouse awaits its first occupants at Yuma Conservation Garden, Yuma, Arizona.
Little brown sparrow,
will you make this house your home
before the wren does?

Footbridge
Entrance to Robert J. Moody Demonstration Garden, Yuma, Arizona.
Crossing the footbridge,
I find a desert garden,
but no gardener.

Sunflower Blossoms
Sunflowers bloom at Robert J. Moody Demonstration Garden, Yuma, Arizona
Sunflower blossoms remind me of you
And how you would smile while tying your shoe
To ready yourself for journeys afar;
I keep these memories stored in a jar
Along with a pebble and a small bone,
And feathers I found while walking alone
That summer day at the edge of the lake,
Knowing your journey had been a mistake;
For somewhere afar, you vanished from sight,
Your footprints erased by wind in the night;
No one could find you, though they looked for days—
You’d gone just like sunlight burns away haze.
Many years later, the riddle goes on:
How did you vanish like darkness at dawn?
I have no answer, but this much is true:
Sunflower blossoms remind me of you.
