Spiky soul

Stony stems sway in the wind.
They may be spiky but so very mighty.
Your green stems glow, your orange petals flow.
You blend in like a flame of fire,
You are my desire.
Let this gentle bush dig its roots deep, as deep as the sea.
Even the smallest bush can create a shadow.
I wonder how many of you are going through this much danger?
Let’s all help this little bush grow and let the wind flow through its petals.
You are a little bush but you have a big heart,
Bigger than the ocean and wider than Noah’s ark.
How are you endangered?
For you are such a gentle bush.
You are stranded up on top of that hill.
People may think you are not important, but with a blink of an eye they will realise.
You are my stony bush pea, my spiky, my mighty.
