From the side of the street

To the mountain side

The saguaro reaches delicately out to the sun

For life

For growth

But with the tender life force

Comes hollowed out worlds

That lead to the saguaro blues

The sky down to the ground

As the cactus is laid bare

In a world so ready to move on

But the cactus reminds us that

Even in the midst of the desert

Life can spring forth abundantly

For all of us to see and be inspired to

Live fully
