A Saguaro Cactus

A saguaro cactus… am I
at times with white flowers, red fruit
melding variety into my surroundings

Beautiful, poised and strong
bathing in radiant sunlight
forever reaching toward the sky

Shadowed by neighboring dunes
absorbing the fast setting sun
proudly standing on my patch of desert

A saguaro cactus... am I
housing & feeding those near
watching over all who call this land home
