Under the Palo Verde Tree

November 29, 2022December 8, 2022 ~ Kate Lunsford ~ 4 Comments

Under yellow blooms, falling from the green skinned Palo Verde tree, we stood close and quiet enough to feel connected to our surroundings. Harmonious low coos from nature’s song left a buzz on top of the hot Arizona sun.

Thoughts slowed, synchronizing to the alarming throb of my beating heart, a heart beating louder than the ringing in my ears. It rose to a steady pound. I’m the big bass drum in a symphony.

The Living Creature (Fable in Song)

January 17, 2020February 10, 2023 ~ Kate Lunsford ~ 1 Comment

Once there was a creature, born from the infinite. Once there was a creature, born from the living and the dead. It came to being one starry night, in a field made of gold. Cosmic light broke barren ground raw blue splendor formed, it then shouted and it roared. It had no idea what to … Continue reading The Living Creature (Fable in Song)
