Welcome warmth returns

Sunshine and short sleeves abound

Early desert spring

Summer’s Heat, July

Summer’s heat, July

Birds…bees sing their joyful songs

By nature’s design.

Sadly we too oft’ ignore

Beauty that lay before us.

 

Distracted by life

All just to try to survive

We get very lost.

Perhaps if we took a step back

What we’re missing would be found.

 

Look to the sky, grass,

Look to the simplicity in life

For what’s important.

This is what Mother gave us

To keep from going insane.

Clawing and Scratching (Haiku)

Clawing and scratching

Old Man Winter fights for life

Nature defies him


~~

What dreams have the trees

Except to brighten this world

Seasons perfection


~~

Buds are rays of hope

Each one a promising life

Springtime’s renewal

~~

Buds

 

Buds

Sparrows

Defy cold

Fickle winter

Sensing springs approach

Something man never could

Having lost touch with nature

Too absorbed with things of this world

He is merely along for the ride

Technology and ignorance stunt him

Now he must live as a passenger

Trusting meteorology

A most imperfect science

To decipher nature

While birds and buds thrive

In harmony

with instincts

That man

Lost
