Blue Willow Tree

She stood beneath the spreading tree and looked out far, across the sea with wide eyes wonder , to the sky, and softly wished to ask him why her love that had to go so far, across the waters, to a War but just returned , was dancing rain, that seemed to cry and say his name and look, a Willow tree that sheltered her, was like a sigh, against the sky had branches like a comfort cloak, but tempest shadows , returned like smoke she wont forget their walks of green, bare foot on days, in summers , seen a sky of blue, like butterflies, on Willow Tree, it rested high Forget me knots and cornflowers blue, a scene of wheatfields , its harvests new he made a garland & held her hand and gently left, for foreign lands so she looked again across the sea beneath the blue, Blue Willow Tree.
