Cactus Baptism ah.......the dance steps I know by chance knowledge known without practice is a full and empty prickly cactus but if we can get past the needles cursed water will quench our desert thirst no more of washing of footprints in the sand don’t know everything but this I do understand I can write upon the pages in permanent ink a completely satisfying cactus drink thirst has given me excellent prep my baptismal dance has begun it’s first step "I have already paid for my future sins." Sade...(King of Sorrow) |

Good to have you back, Helen....and yes, I love the dualism of cactus and water, but cacti are succulents and I'll shaddup now, but loved your poem and great to see you back home again.  |

Love cactus and their flowers. I don't see many poems about them. I gues we are afraid to get that close the the thorns on purpose. Good One....Dan Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

Ahh, Helen, so good to see you, and the part "no more of washing of footprints in the sand" binds all together...very gentle smile |
