The Weeping Willow....

A weeping willow is calling my name
I'm stumbling over root and stone
Trying to reach that willow tree
I see it's shadow looming in the darkness
Still calling my name
It's oh so lonely
As am I
It's crying out with it's weeping willow tears
I make it to the willow
I embrace it as it embraces me
Letting one another know
We're not alone

This is beautifully written. Who knew you possessed such a wonderful gift for poetry.💚🌷🍃

It's message is very heartfelt, especially in wanting to help others, although I wish you didn't feel lonely. Sigh.🥺

I tried to take a picture of my Weeping Willow the other day and it just didn't turn out no matter the ways in which I tried to capture it. Under its bowing limbs, I've always found it the perfect refuge to read.😌

@SW-User Ah, I didn't know you liked Shakespeare as well. I'm not much on many of his plays, but I have enjoyed A Midsummer Night's Dream along with Romeo and Juliet. My favorite poem of his is Sonnet 18. This is it set to music....

This one is so lovely. I always think of sadness but truth when I see a willow. And a bright moon really lights up its sadness, but calling you to sit and join it for a while. 🩷
