What Wind Blows In Your Willows

What wind blows in your willows now? What moves your leaves nubile as they are now Here inspiring is this the year of our new freedom We are unfurling..... Our chlorophyll is stretching to catch the new gift of being with other people We are growing greener bigger than ourselves larger again Will your leaves throw shade or be respite for others We are colors suddenly bursting forth in generosity to allow the rainbow We grow Enjoy making it beautiful for everyone Will you hug people more often now that you can again Or still throw shade How deep have your roots run down into the dark earth during this cold hard time Did growing roots deeper and darker and further down make you a better person Or are you shallow sucking water from the surface of things I'm breaking open like a flower I cannot wait to give and be given to again I want to throw my arms wide open and be washed in the water of living The sunset is far more beautiful now and my friends are yet more precious even than before I will be " open as the sky" Regretting nothing and remembering only what was good
