Thorn Birds

awaken early dawn
while
i 
go to tell the storm
sing the birds of thorns
thorn birds this time
i 
know
when
i 
hear their mating calls
and
thorn birds build their nests
with so much clarity young born
while
sweet Jesus walked beyond the dead
with the crown of thorns, and blood
dripping down his head
still, the crown of thorns rests upon Jesus’ head

hello and thank you for your warm comments about my poem, reasons to run. I am always working in the public, so I have this way of telling when certain situations are rising. So I pat out the fires before they grow. I work aroubd aolt of women too, shoes and cloths, so Its a habbit to automatic compliment women out of habit. Any way loved this short yet powerful poetry. Have a blessed day.
