Our Weeping Willow Mourns

By the blue lake one sunny day
  a willow watched us laugh and play.
Cool water surrounded our young love
  and the willow watched us from above.
We embraced with such passion strong
  as the willow sang a love song.
But you suddenly disappeared one rainy day
  and I began to kneel and pray.
I wept and wept and felt so forlorn
  and our beautiful weeping willow mourned.

This reminds me of a Weeping Willow poem I must write. I like it immensely, and it brought out a think I had buried down deep, so thank you!

Hi Andrea. I read yours too and I can see your point of view as the willow and I picture the sad lover back under that lovely willow alone with her broken heart...but with her friend, the willow, both weeping together. Carole
