Beautiful. Like Krystal said, this made me imagine the cactus. Using such a limited amount of words to paint a vivid picture. That's a gift. Keep writing.

Your words took my imagination to that lonely cactus and it looked so bright in contrast to the "Parched dried up desert" (loved that line--great description). Reminded me of how amazing all aspects of nature are, thank you. ~KC~
