A Weeping Willow Mourns

She is in her willows,                                                                                                                                                                      with grey stones, for pillows                                                                                                                                               Speckled with the mossy green,                                                                                                                           alongside what might have been                                                                                                                                  Mourner’s do come and go                                                                                                                                                     The lonesome winds still blow                                                                                                                                                             as the trees billow out,                                                                                                                                                                 the doleful songs, no doubt                                                                                                                                                          Rusty streaks upon the marker,                                                                                                                                               behind the sun grows darker
