Under cliff hides life
Long time here the world slept
Ancient homes remain.

Bless each palo verde bloom –
Those cuplets kissed by the sun
My vision wants to consume
That thus have raptured my love.
See how they speckle the tree
With a burst of yellow bright
And upon the branches flit
By the wind that blows nigh –
Leading me not to consider
The force behind nor why
But to admire how they arch
In reverence to the sky.

An artsy faerie of Emerald green
with her dragon Verde can be seen,
deep in the woods by a stump of oak;
this pair were quite creative folks.
A faerie gifted with a talent for carving
though she earned not a single farthing;
she carved and carved for children you see
bunnies, flowers, birds and bees.
Verde would fly into their dreams at night
as they slept beneath bright moonlight;
he’d whisper deep into their ears,
stories to quell all of their fears.
Then softly, he crept to their beds
and lay a carving by their head;
with faerie magic it was imbued;
a gift of magic and wonders true.
A good luck charm for their protection
full of wisdom to give them direction;
for guidance from the elementals,
is that which comes right from the angels.

No one’s ever gone
until forgotten
Their memory etched
like words in stone
—canyons to remind

Shadows on a cave wall,
eyes that look for truth
Figments of what sight denies
—dancing resolute

Green clinger on arid arroyo rock,
Spring blooms of faded yellow you did drop.
Desert dry took a toll of leaf and branch
Leaving photosynthesis to your bark.
Life is tough, lizard kissed, so short and harsh.
Unlike upland cousins, you are blessed:
In your shelter rests a saguaro babe,
Whose stately arms one day will take your place.

A grama é verde, a tulipa é vermelha
Na vida e nos negócios
sempre, sempre
a grama é verde
a tulipa é vermelha
às vezes, você precisa que seu deus
ou Deus te mostre a simplicidade
de um simples convite,
não uma palavra de sabedoria.
Quase sempre,
para ver os seus olhos olhando para você,
como os olhos deveriam finalmente “te ver”
vendo você, como você sempre quis ser vista,
vendo você, como você sempre quis ver o mundo,
você precisa de ousadia
para que você possa voar e se libertar
fazendo mais e mais!
Ouse ver o que quer ver,
— simples assim.

Grama verde
Na vida ou nos negócios
a grama
nem sempre é mais verde
do outro lado da cerca.
As gramas não conhecem Cercas
Cercas pouco tem a ver
com gramado verde.
A grama é mais verde onde é cuidada.
Ao atravessar cercas,
leve água com você
e cuide da grama
em todos os lados da cerca.

Verde chases for his meal
A
Trodden over clovers
Robin
An oriole flickers up
Red
Beating down the grass
Breast
A cardinal darts away
Twitches
A streak of lightening flashes
Until
The last bluebird bursts
Death

Im tiefen Flug
Herrlich leuchtendes Gefieder
Ein junger Grünspecht
Im hohen alten Lindenbaum
Am günen Ufer der Mandau
------------------------------------------
In its deep flight
With splendid bright plumage
A young Green Woodpecker
At a tall old linden tree
Near the green banks of the Mandau
------------------------------------------
En su vuelo rasante
Con maravilloso brillante plumaje
Un joven carpintero verde
En un tilo viejo y alto
Cerca de orillas verdes del Mandau
