~ Weeping Willow ~
Down to the ground your arms do weep
What vital, gracious wings of a fairy dream
The ancient and the new dimensions do dangle
With such grace and swimming triangles
Showering themselves down to the ground's seams
How I adore the unique shade from your smile
To bask in your cool uniqueness a while
Such refuge you bring on a warm summer's day
Where I open my notebooks and write the day away
I bathe in the inspiration from the shade of that smile
'Tis a magical place I find myself in 'neath your wings
Where anything is possible, where magic truly sings
What vital, gracious wings of a fairy dream
Such a setting is never quite what it seems
More a dream 'neath the willow's happening
Down to the ground your arms do weep
And sweep and sway your way into my dreams
I have become so accustomed to your presence
I have tasted the life blood of your essence
Grateful am I, for God's gift of your glad symphony
Weeping Willow, yours is a grace that ever beams
The true nature of this, our most blessed reality....
Tony Taylor

HI Love! You KNOW I love this poem! I can feel the movement and of the Weeping Willow and the peaceful scene its existence brings! I adore our Weeping Willow in our front yard. When I sit on our front porch and a breeze kicks up, I see the exact imagery you created here with the branches sweeping and swaying motion. It is definitely a tree with charm and character that you perfectly portrayed here. It positively inspires a poet to write and find his voice. This is just beautiful! I love how your mind works Just lovely! Love, Hugs, n Kisses, C xoxxxxx ;)
