A Walk in May 2021

A Walk in May 2021
1
Pietra Willow
above pungent Lavender
random bulb blossom
For the bees nectar
Toads during a wet season
a far Cicada
Sudden rain shower
where some of April remains
a stem holds droplet
White Dogwood provides
this bloom in this walk in May
appreciation
Succulents flower
near the shade of rock pillar
where greener plants live
Similar songbird
is that a different song
from another nest?
A colorful time
of walks in perfect weather
such beauty in change
2
Arrive on light breeze
felt amongst a thin May shade
enhanced by each leaf
New ecosystems
for these displaced desert birds
be responsible
Examine the shade
or where the shade fights with day
before heading home
Baby Maple leaf
size of the tip of my thumb
green child gathering
Tiny yellow bloom
hide in Magnolia shade
from cover of eye
Beautiful minute
when a bee collects pollen
at our fingertips
Wren nests along roof
they found food under awning
their own Stucco home
3
What once was bare branch
carries a full thick green coat
buds open adults
High desert daytime
filled with beautiful transplant
yard for each owner
Stare from a rock seat
upon separate valleys
one left and one right
A lone White Pine Birch
maturity reaching sky
shades some potted plants
Below Grape Holly
ants begin move under rock
a small black beetle
Carefully observe
to see the difference in small
worlds made for giants
A Bluebird visits
takes a break from its busy
to walk where I walk
4
Experiencing
bubble of May memory
begin to blossom
The desert is gone
only empty lots remain
a few homes not built
Most of the morning
spent walking through Hight Desert
today in mid May
Peridot Lilac
provides light purple pallet
near orange Daisy
Apache Plum sways
a light cotton caught in air
arid paradox
This old yet new May
tread on some footprints on path
new thoughts old routine
Surround my May thoughts
with these names for landscaping
corresponding green
