there is a line of willows in Peterborough along the river they are majestic. Inspired by a poem of Roy Davids called impressions which is  featured in Acumen sept 2012 

The ancient brave weeping willows that line the gentle river banks cry not, one single drop hovers. It is wisdom that drips from it. This wisdom garnered through ages of watching antics and follies of mankind repeating same mistakes. So they drip their wisdom in hope. Hope is inspired by these trees as majestically they stand. Lines marching along river bank they are sentinels of wisdom.

The weeping willows have so much to tell us, if only we would listen... I really enjoyed these moving words of wisdom. Very nicely written, Shadow!

Hello Shadow... nicely written Shadow. A weeping willow offers tranquillity and wisdom as they guard the waterways. - Lindsay
