weeping willow does not weep
Jul 27, 2017 · 1 min read
weeping willow maybe
but it surely does not weep
for its bark can heal its pain
and its roots are buried deep
morphing into other forms
charcoal dark as darkest night
running water in its bark
holy water keeping light
coldness is no stranger
so its built a layer tough
always drawing sun in
casting shadows well enough
steady and unshaken
broken branches are its womb
shielding banks from flooding waters
that are more inclined to run
