The willow

The willow tree is in mourning
It has seen all the sadness of the past
It's swaying branches enfold them 
The wind stirs it's leaves in cold breezes  
A young couple embrace in its shade..
.Emotions melt in it's leaves
The sun warms the air with happiness 
The tree absorbs the love and tenderness 
It knows first love has a bitter price
And why it's branches fall like teardrops
It's wisdom knows such glows are part of the ages 
Time is a thief of emotions 
And in its ageless wisdom
He misses them before they have gone
