THE CACTUS FLOWER.
Reading edition

She came to me brimming with love; The cup of a red cactus flower filled with dew, The heart of a woman wonderful with color and strength and passionate sweetness, Without reserve, Unconditionally: “All that I am of life and love is yours—take me!” Ah, the redness of the cactus flower! Ah, the heart of a woman!


Love is Life-in-Bloom— What blossoms in your garden?
