Desert Bloom

A Sonnet about "El dieserto florido" en Atacama Chile

When charitable rain cascades from skies
Old and arid desert springs back alive
Blooming bright blossom's colorful surprise
On bone dry land where just sand could survive!

Wild floral patchwork so wonderful show
Nature being the quintessential artist
Blueprints for bouquets buried long ago
In seedlings whose genius now surfaced!

Magenta, butter yellow, deep purple
Impress a stratosphere of flawless blue
On borrowed time in sunshine they revel
Until each petal bids this world adieu...

O desert bloom reprieving barren grief
The sweetest joy's in life are always brief.
