The Wondrous Willow

All alone in tall grass 
She sits in the field 
Covered in frost 
Are it's olive green leaves 
Turned yellow 
Resting at her feet 
The fawn are bedded 
In her vee's 
Nests of infants and hosts are filled 
Atop sits a crow 
From the shelter of the sun 
Green moss grows below 
The lone weeper sways

Charlie, a beautiful portrait of a sentinel; the steadfast and sheltering willow. The majesty of her selflessness is tenderly yet powerfully conveyed in the emotion of your last line. An excellent poem that I completely enjoyed and one that I lingered over.. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
