He Is a Shy Willow: Hexsonnetta

He is a shy willow
with a moue of chagrin
hidden deeply within.
March weeps on his pillow,
he wilts like a swallow
immaculate of sin.

His dreams unfold in jade.
As wind disturbs a wreath
an arrow leaves the sheath.
Before the moon a shade,
a silhouette unswayed
as stars does sky bequeath.

The swallow is reborn,
flying high til the morn.
