WEEDS AND SEEDS

Way out West
where the wind
blows free;
the high desert
flowers
are a sight
to see.

Even the weeds,
with their
wicked seeds,
bloom in colors
of every hue.

Surprise, surprise!
Right before
your eyes
the weeds are
flowers,
whetting your
appetite for
hours!

Pregnant colors
abound
over all the
ground,
in hues of green,
reds, indigo,
and all colors in
between!

Perhaps they, like
people,
are most beautiful
in their maturing
years,
when life is finished
with its
tears!
