Weeping Willow

Weeping Willow

A Poem by TM "Ree" Tate
"

about woman; using a willow tree as a metaphor

"
Weeping willow~

Swaying gracefully
in errant breeze.
Hiding sorrow and pain
in cascading leaves.

Caressing rich soil
with feathery fronds.
Gently but firmly tethered,
by earthly bonds

Fluid strength
bends during the storm.
Never breaking,
keeping perfect form.

Roots buried deep
to keep from dying.
Listen close!
Do you hear it crying?
