Weeping Willow

Weeping willow drop your tears on the river rolling swift I'll drink your pain and keep it near though your sorrows cannot fix You dipped your branches with a kiss and tried to hold me passing by with bended branch we tried to mix I slipped through your willows with a sigh I am water you the earth when touched you thought us wed for all our likeness you observed yet could not travel the path I led With rolling stones beneath my ever fluent waters I'll miss the shade of your willow tree your shadow on my border Weep not for me dear willow tree nor think complete your not your branches will hold a bird that sings within the elements you are wrought Even pain has beauty to bring if you see with the eyes of the giver for the willow is Abel to drink from a spring though it mourns the rush of the river Oh how I love that weeping willow it's flowers bright as the morning sun It's shade the comfort of a lovers gaze but a river is destined to run Quick and swift the current beckons a marriage of water and wind If only the willow could weep his last accepting they can only be friends I know the wind cannot be held nor told which way to blow but like the river a mighty force within a world we must contend Lo the story of water, earth and wind broken hearts and a poets pen if only I could write with words your smile, your eyes bright again For you to know my loves not gone never will it be... in time my beloved willow you'll hear loves song and sing So weep if weep you must to grieve but know sweet willow the need... it's not the depth this river seeks your deserving of more than me No day will pass each landscape new wherever this river travels when I will fail to think of you and the love we knew so fragile (Written for someone I care about deeply)
