Grok the Weeping Willow

Joyous tears aplenty, in search of willow trees, where ancient might has fallen, shriveled, sagging life and limb. Thirsty seeds of sacred trust have scattered ‘cross the seas. Seething words of wisdom sing in glorious praise of sin. Where ancient might has fallen, shriveled, sagging life and limb, the shifting sands of time have formed a desert ‘neath the roots. Seething words of wisdom sing in glorious praise of sin. Drink my loving tears oh tree; I labor for your fruits. The shifting sands of time have formed a desert ‘neath the roots. Thirsty seeds of sacred trust have scattered ‘cross the seas Drink my loving tears oh tree; I labor for your fruits. Joyous tears aplenty, in search of willow trees.

Regarding your comment, Yoni, no need to apologize. I like a sense of humor. Life is way too serious sometimes. I enjoy someone that can look at things and laugh a little. Thanks for giving me a chance to smile today. Karen
