Dogwood

Dogwood

Pinned toΒ a dogwood tree
Suffered so a malady
Borne of ignorant sod
King of kings, son of God

Pivotal pinnacles adorn
Nucleus crown of thorn
To conveyΒ sanctified loss
Contours of rugged cross

Pristine blossoms alight
Petal of purest white
An apex of crimson red
Pierced divine bloodshed

A father's grief enlisted
Boughs gravely twisted
Ne'er again use for malice
A hardwood most callous
