California Poppies

Blooming in the desert land

Poppies with their golden color 

Push away the winter    

As they welcome spring


Wild and free they spread

Across the land

With rain the father

And earth the mother 

Born anew into the world


A sea of golden fairies

Swaying in the breeze

Fields of pure delight 

Fostering endless dreams
