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.
