Willow Tree

Silently in majestic beauty you stand amidst

Our intrusion your beautiful truth for all to see 

Mother earth energy circulating through you

Reaching out to the sky back to earth

Enfolding me in a loving warmth

Sunshine through your leaves

The wind blows you speak to me

Of the harmonious balance in all things

Everything is as it is meant to be

The emotional kaleidoscope of mind

Disturbs the harmony of life

We must be still to appreciate the balance of life

Accepting the storms come and go 

swaying with the breeze embracing the flow

Of energy all around us all the time

Your peaceful serenity is my teacher

Teaching me peace of mind wise old willow tree

Love You

My heart weeps for you in your sadness

My love cannot take away your pain

All I can do is love you

Till the dark clouds of grief float away

And the sun shines within your heart

Holding you close in my love

The healing balm of my love will comfort you

Death is as certain as life

Grief is the sorrow of love

Time is our unkind master as life ticks away

Your heart must say farewell to your beloved

And I will love you till the sun shines again
