Cactus blossom
Opening up to the morning light
that pierces the mountaintops as it rises
Prayers to our creator
cast into barren skies
Arms, upturned and raised
A sage that knows his land too well
Forming unity in sanctions that are scattered across the mesas and over the mountainous terrain
Into the valleys and plains that kiss the other side
Each one, bearing one who has been chosen to lead them
Fighting battles that have not even begun yet
Some spun
Some drunk and belligerent
Abusive, many
Carried away by the winds of change forced upon all of the creatures of habit
Less intellect than has the jackrabbit who\'s habits are far more sensible than theirs
Everyone cares for everyone
Without first looking through their souls
Conceptualization becomes delusional
The stories all have many holes in them
Just like the cactus blossom who\'s concept is to reach toward the sunlight to capture it all and soak it all in....
