The Thorn Tree




Within me, there’s too much of myself
It leaves no place for you to find rest
Within me, there are futile wishes
It leaves no place for you to find comfort

Within me, helpless darkness lies
It snatches away your resting seat
Within me, insurmountable sadness
Is poised like a dense forest of thorn trees

Whenever  the wind blows
The dry branchlets chafing against one another, weep
To seek out a resting place, the exhausted little birds
  Hurt by the thorns they fly away.
Within me, there’s too much of myself
It leaves no place for you to find rest.
