Bless each palo verde bloom –

[AmyMichelleMosier]

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.
