This is love and forgiveness, to rise above the thorns unscathed. It goes both ways, this trust and forgiveness. A beautiful nugget that speaks to my condition!
Those thorny parts of the path are very hard to navigate. There is no denying that. We just have to keep moving, not getting stuck in the thorns. It is reassuring to know there is Someone with us as we walk, even when the thorns seem never ending.
To believe in positive outcome - the key, and you always surrounded by the vision, faith and highest plan on this thorny path, your lesson will be rewarding.
Oh, I love this. A traditional Tanka in Old English language. As an enthusiast of both, I'd say you did really well with the meter & choice of old english here. Great piece!
