“thorny Tree” by Junaid Boughan

thorny tree, thorny tree;

Beneath your veins lie to me,

My grandmother I long,

In my heart not far gone.

Because of her beauty I feed your thorns,

My focus is on her which does not mean,

 I am ignoring you Thorny tree,

I adore your shade you bring to me,

When my eyes are close to pray to thee,

The birds sing to me; not the answers but a song,

To why we all come to be,

 but today I change my mind…

“& pray for my friend, Thorny tree.”
