Let’s journey together with the resilient cacti, through the serene waves of atmosphere

‘neath the winds flowing wings, and Cactus Being. Hope you enjoy the ride, and may

                                      your summer days be filled with sun-drenched moments of effortless bliss.

Cactus Being

     By Marie Helen Abramyan  

Below cascading breaths of storming sighs

Shudder the petals of the desert skies;

Gentle blossom, nestled flame atop thorns

Savors languid sunbeams after gust storms,

Breeze parted clouds afford warmth to the bud

Softly caressing limbs windswept in mud,

Draped spider tinsel on pin blades verdant

Peacefully swing in the mellowed current,

As raised arms pine for the sun’s strengthened gaze

That’s nurtured generations long lost days,

From arid dessert sands, to seeds in soil

From rainfall of winter, to summer’s toil,

Stemmed firm to withstand changing tides time brings

Cactus being ‘neath the winds flowing wings.
