Life Among Thorns 





Brings the Spring a renewal
of all the thing that we consider
pleasant and beautiful. The
green grass exploding from the
inside of the earth. The flowers
blooming in al the tones of music.
In the corner of the garden, alone
still, and forgotten by time and
nature, the thorn bush stands. The
sharp and long thorns, causing
pain  to any that ventures inside.
Among the twisted and stiff thorny
branches, a soft and gentle nest
takes shape. Dry grass, and small
twigs covered by a soft lining of
delicate and multicolored down
will receive a couple of tiny cream
colored eggs. In a few weeks the 
chicks will hatch and bring life to
the dry and desolate thorny hell.
The music and chirping will remind
us that life is special, and will appear
in any desolate place, even among
the thorns of any dry bush.
