Whispering Willow

whispering willow I over heard

all that was said was not deserved

branches hang down, grazing the earth

a huge base planted, safely in dirt

your thoughts are waterfalls

brushing the ground

blowing in wind with so many sounds

a weeping rose, a lost love fought

a weeping sunflower, destiny taught

these flowers do not weep

only carry the burden

your branches so heavy

of this I am certain

whispering willow I over heard

all that was said was not deserved

I listened to the wind

I deciphered the tears

always seeming so strong

standing for years

a weeping violet, a burst of voice

a weeping daisy, a last ditch choice

these flowers do not weep

only carry your thoughts

your branches their strength

their seeds you have caught

weeping willow I watched you cry

whispering willow will always try

so many flowers on the breeze they blow

your branches will hold them never letting them go

This is really beautiful Holly. Such a lovely rhythm and I really feel the weight of the weeping/whispering willow - very evocative. I look forward to checking out some more of your stuff!
