The Weeping Willow Will

***EARTH***

 

 

 

Who will guide me

 

when I am lost?

The weeping willow will.

Her majestic arms reach down to me,

 They point to follow the wind.

 

Who will help me through this pain?

The weeping willow will.

Change surrounds her

and She stands unmoved,

She remains the same.

 

Who will teach me how to love?

 The weeping willow will.

Silently she comforts,

When I leave she lets me go.

The healing freedom that she gives me

Is all I need to show?

 

Powerful and steadfast,

Grounded and made to last.

she is The essence of

 present and past.

This is what I want to be.

Who will teach me?

 

The weeping willow will.

I loved the inspiration behind this poem, I just feel compelled to comment on the lack of punctuation, that would really make it much easier to read. The flow is often broken up by having to stop to decide where a sentence ends and another begins.
But, I did like this poem, especially the lines:
"Grounded and made to last / The essence of present and past / This is what I want to be / Who will teach me?"

I have made the requested changes. Please reread and let me know if it helped. Thank you so much for your review.

The flow really is much better now - it's easier to concentrate on the message behind the words, rather than the punctuation. Great piece of work. ^_^

I really enjoy nature in poetry. You have taken a deeper look at the weeping willow tree. There is so much to learn from nature. Lovely poem!

I love your writing and style, it's mysterious, deep, and pure.
If you breathe her tears, and feel the fresh oxygen and water mixed with life salty prickles, also through her sorrow... indeed, the gift to achieve the weeping willow will... oh my such a well thought out poem, with your strength woven through it. Goes into my favs!

Hugs,

The beauty in the simple things of nature often inspires us. Nicely done.

I thought it was graceful to be honest. It was a perfect kind of poem...one that engages the reader and honestly for me it reflects my own style because a lot of time my poems are more like fragmented thoughts. ^^*
