Month: April 2025

Precariously Perched on a steep precipice Deep-rooted for now

A hint of purple Sprouting from dry rocky soil Desert pasque flower

Water soaked grasses Reach through last year’s growth for sun Life unstoppable 

Mountains plastered white Sounds of winter sports quiet Big Horns undisturbed

They run to the storm Addicted to last powder As the season ends

Steady persistence Meandering meadow stream Always finds its way

Ice falls cracked open What’s been hidden all along Water, movement, sound

Willow leaf cocoons Dangling hints of green emerge To color the world

Gentle upstream winds Stroke and bend pampas grass stalks As one flowing sway

Treetop to treetop Gregarious grosbeak chirps Broadcast their return
