Thistles are wild pistols
Known since ancient times.
The purple distinctive spikes
Are here for strength and resilience.
Do you know
That thistle and thorns
Mention in the Bible
As meaningful symbols
Of Adam in the holy Eden Garden.
Thornes and thistles came from a fall.
Figs and grapes do not have thorns.
The stinkweed’s thorns
Are worse than scorpions.
Thistles are both protection
And God’s punishment.
It is a warning of danger and judgement.
Purple thistles are for the reasons
To remind us about human sins,
Struggles, and life challenges.
Something tells me
That love is like a flower and bee:
Wild, beautiful,
And probably bumpy
When you fall
Wildy and delightful
Like a peaceful dove, in love
With a glove,
To touch thorns
And the thistle’s purple ball.
