the nature of life
only a brief time to bloom
why not be oneself

the nature of life
only a brief time to bloom
why not be oneself

iron in railing
irony in the signpost
the creek - not so dry
sunshine on puddles
an opening in the rain
then the clouds close ranks
given drought like conditions
no one complains about rain

corridor of blooms
here but a few days a year
all the more precious
even in the dark
easy to identify
male cardinal’s song
