cacti

simple spiny succulents
side by side
in the scorching
w   i   d   e
desert

you have something to teach me

one lesson might be
to savor
the tiniest drops of blessing
when they come

and keep them deep

to store
and reap once more
in a dry, poor
season




* "Above all else, guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life."
                                                                ~Proverbs 4:23
