The Scorpion on Cactus Poem
The scorpion climbs the cactus spine,
A midnight pilgrim on a thorny road.
Moonlight glints along its armored back,
Each step a gamble with the needles.
Wind hums low across the desert floor,
Carrying secrets older than the dunes.
Still it climbs, steady as a heartbeat,
Defying the sting of its chosen path.
At the summit, stars gather like witnesses,
Watching the creature claim its height.
It pauses—tiny monarch of the night—
Owning the silence it fought to reach.
