Weeping Willows
Oh Willow my willow
How Summery you weep
Your tears to the earth
Invite me to release mine
If not from grief,
From the quiet Joy of being alive
Oh willow my willow
How Summery you beckon
Your shimmery limbs dangle
Inviting me to dangle mine
If not from Joy,
From the private surrender of being held
Oh willow my willow
How Summery you speak
Your story of silence
Invites me to tell mine
If not from wisdom,
From the primal return of my innocence
Oh willow my willow
How Summery you stand
Your shape unfurling
Inviting me to welcome mine
If not from my dreams
From the co-creative evolution;
The Endless Summer
of Life giving over to Life
Oh willow my willow
How I am drawn in by you
How you draw me closer
Closer to my Essence,
as I am drawn into yours
How can I not weep with you!
