the weeping willow

 weeping willows
 transport us to a
 time before

 when we spent our days
 dreaming
 exploring
 playing

 they listen to our secrets
 offer wisdom and
 invite us to hide and seek

 they bend, twist and turn
 playfully
 enchanting us
 to do the same

 beautiful but full of   melancholy
 they assure us that with every
 end there is a new
 beginning…
