Thicket

My trembling feet may venture Where others dare not go These fingers touch the blood red thorns And remind my heart to beat slow But still the sparrow sings to me Quietly from the dogwood tree Echoing across the falling leaves "Come to me, come to me."

Juli, I love this delicate rhyme you have spun. The prose of everyday things.
