The Weeping Willow
~
Sitting peacefully
Underneath the weeping willow
Keeping all my thoughts of you
Deep inside of me
Cherishing, protecting
My last thoughts of you
–
Hiding anxiously
Underneath the weeping willow
Holding all my love for you
Deep inside of me
Bleeding, crying
My lost love for you
–
Lying blissfully
Underneath the weeping willow
Holding all my memories of you
Deep inside of me
Remembering, missing
All of you
–
Closing my eyes
Underneath the weeping willow
I feel Death
Deep inside of me
Stop breathing, living
Without you…
~

Patty, this is an absolutely gorgeous poem. Just the weeping willow hides all beneath within its branches, so the heart holds of all the pain, memories, and love. Great symbolism.
Thank you my friend.
Absolutely true. It’s a safe haven.

I have a weeping willow down at my back pond. Why do weeping willows bring this feeling of weeping? I am always amazing how their leaves drop close to the water but never into the water. I love this poem it’s so wonderful and beautiful just like you! Hugs and love to you Patty! ❤
Thank you so much my sweet friend!
I don’t know. For me, it’s the most beautiful tree!

Patty, “The Weeping Willow” in words just like the photo here stays with the reader ….it has such an impact, connects…..I have always felt that there is something almost hypnotic about the repetition of words…here “Underneath the weeping willow”….& when appropriate I have used repetition of a phrase in giving a speech or small talk or especially in a tribute to a person. It brings out a “rise” in the audience. Love this one too!!!!!!!!!! Phil
Thank you Phil! 🙂
I adore the weeping willow, it’s such a beautiful tree. It feels safe to sit underneath it, but also a bit sad.
Lots of love ❤
