Misshapen limbs of the Palo Verde trees add an artistic touch to the landscape. While 
Honeysuckle twine about the old rail fence and the spiny Ocotillo flash scarlet plumes. 

Mesquite trees, older than the homestead,...

My feet to dance the world while I’m still living

As they still want...

Through the door of the adobe shelter
while sacred Palo Santo scent rises and wafts
to greet the coyotes as they yip and yelp
in praise to their pack among

PASSING

Never knew pain like this pain
Never hurt so bad as now
Never cried out in the dark

   Seduced better than before

And within the naked boughs
   Of some palo verde –...

PYAR KA EHSAS
suni si wo jindagi , jisme na koi chah aur na wo pyar ka ehsas
