The Dogwood Tree

Dog
Wood
Dogwood
Dogwood Tree
Many white blooms in spring
Four petals have blood drops on each
These are Christ's head, hands, and feet with the center red berries
Being the bloody crown that was placed on his beautiful brow that drouped in the pain, heat

Strange, Just a day or two ago while I was reading one of your poems, I remember a very strong premonitory came to me about a dogwood tree. I thought maybe to write about it myself, now I see I was just connecting with your thoughts in the spirit. Lol, Here the poem is, big as life. Sincerely Moses
