Weeping Willow Tree

Many thoughts run through my mind. Thoughts so intense.. Thoughts so deep.. I sit here and ponder .. Under the willow tree Many fears have gradually appeared .. Fearful forces had entered my domain.. Somber moments covered in states of melancholy A cascading waterfall of emotions had arrived to the surface.. Sadness accompanied by pain swimming along the cascading waterfalls.. One teardrop fell slowly down my cheek.. My lip moistened by its residue.. A slight taste of salt from the aftermath of my tears.. Surrounded in lush emerald green landscapes.. Along the beauty of Mother Nature.. I had buried my pain inside myself.. Deep down inside.. I seeked to find solace.. I had found it.. It had never abandoned me.. Through my darkest moments.. My domain lies under the willow tree The weeping willow tree.. Had wepted along with me.. Lovely weeping willow tree had shed a bright light.. I had been lifted.. I had been comforted.. We had both shared pain.. Together as one..

No greater benefactor then a willow tree when it comes to grieving our losses. I have enjoyed your tender moment of healing. Have a wonderful stay dear poetess, and stay well. I hope that if you visit the willow tree its to give it a big hug for energy. xo

An insightful reveal of how nature heals. Beautiful Robertina! Did you know that the word cascade means waterfall in French? I love that word and your poem! : )

My late wife loved her wonky willow tree; my son loved to sleep on a stair, and countless women love to sit on a rock to watch the surf roll in. Its fascinating where people choose to recharge their batteries . . . . . Aloha! Rico
