Under a Willowed Tree

Under a Willowed Tree

A Poem by Michelle Long

Under a willowed tree,

alone there I lay.

Beneath the setting sun,

across the shallow bay.

 

My routine is profound,

repeated the next day;

it's how I escape,

makes troubles go away.

 

As my thoughts unwind,

nothing meant to say,

I revaluate my life,

upon sunset of May.

 

Forever resting my head,

watching Sun's blinking rays,

nothing shall wake me,

falling into a daze.

 

Dreams of faded peace,

begin to make way.

Pearching upon a rock,

rests a beautiful quay.

 

Then the white bird,

lovely as it may,

turns a frightening color,

one of dark-gray.

 

Once shallow water ahead,

starts crashing green waves.

Sunset turns to night,

grass turns to clay.

 

Abruptly, I finally wake,

confusion starts to play.

Under a willowed tree,

alone there I lay.

I really like this.
"Abruptly, I finally wake,
confusion starts to play.
Under a willowed tree,
alone there I lay."
That was the perfect way to end it.
I love the rhyming scheme and the flow to it.
Awesome write!

I find every piece of writing that I have currently posted on here terrible; they're all very old. I'd delete them, if I weren't such a weirdo and didn't have a problem with that thought. With tha.. more..
