Maxwell Blue's Oubliette:

Cactus Flowers and Hummingbirds

I listen to the lazy melody of the rustle of trees,
Family memories I delight with in harmony,
Why is one’s loves a question I cannot know?
Or when received without pleasure ignored?
When the sun lit raindrop prisms aglow,
Dark clouds must also shadow the lands below.
Life has vast ties of intangible connectedness,
That strikes back to a spark, a starting source.
Fragmented thoughts doubt the wisdom of this,
But there is always a bond no matter how faint,
A whimsical state between child and mother,
In all time the moments builds on another,
Cactus flowers and hummingbirds,
A wish on this day I bring,
That songs of peace will play,
And pleasantries will ring.
