Willow, weeping

The Willow weeps, and she is beautiful in her weeping.

We don’t know what has taken away her happiness.

She has no words and I can only guess and try to comfort.

What would you wish, if you were a Willow? What would

you need, to feel less alone? Who is the one who would

stand for your goodness, believe in your purity, mirror

your strength, see your true beauty?

Willow, sweet Willow, hold steady. The time for weeping

is coming to a close. No one can weep forever. Will yourself

forward into growth and green and magical dreams. Your

river of tears has softened the soul of the earth.
