Willow Tree

 

 

 

Buffeted constantly

As in the corridor of the gale

Stands she inwardly ravaged and pale

 

It is in the nature

Of the forever howling storm

To blow whence and how it does from

 

Step aside, away

If you may, the Tempest to her says

The torrent of me will remain this way

 

But move not

She can, for deeply rooted stands

Nurtured and held by pleading hands

 

So the weeping willowed

Tree endures the fierce force

Swaying yet bound strong to her source

 

Weep not should she

Nor cry out loud at her fate

For chooses she to remain than die displaced.
