Happy Willow

I'll stand frustrated and still

Just like a tree

Waiting for you

To fly back to me



Branches shaking from violent winds

Coming in gusts

But these roots will hang on

As long as they must



The rain of the monsoon

Drowning this tree

And I can't escape the storm

Going on inside of me



Leaves rustling in the calm breeze

On a warm spring day

The sun radiating life

In its every ray



April showers nourishing

Roots underground

Encouraging growth

As the water soaks down



I'll stand peaceful and still

Just like a tree

Not waiting for anything

To fly back to me.
