WEEPING WILLOW (POEM)
WEEPING WILLOW
Copy-write 2018 @phedizzle
I undressed my
Undressed my
SILENCE
Letting my loudness
Be exposed
Where were mine
Shoutings delivered
But indiscriminately
Wherever
The opportunity posed
Verbiage traveled in all directions
Focusing was illusive
Sycamores dodged
Mine words unconducive
Unswayed by stammering woes
Just beyond the creek
Masked by the Forrest's trees
On the far side
Passed the shadows' sweep
A meadow vastly arose
There stood a trunk--Twas sturdy
Catching wind of mine distress
Passionately flailing so blurry
Roots aquifer deep but not stressed
The Gentle Giant's attention bestowed
Projecting a solemn sound
Came a rumble through solid ground
Of comfort personified
Empathy expressed alongside
For the Weeping Willow itself knows
Bantered we did
Back and forth our sorrow
Tales of the past
Hopes of tomorrow
Exchanging our Ego's throes
The whispering winds
Of Willow waited
Until the last moments
Our souls debated
Lastly the heart of wood consoled
Willow said the Sun might set
On a daily basis
Yet in the morning again
It will shine on our faces
So always reach for the light when it glows

You are so creative feefey. I loved the poem :)
Thank you @tanishqyeverma. hug I appreciate that.
Oh! I sighed out loud at the end! So nice. I love the timeless feeling of this poem. It could have been written in any century , it's very universal too. Love it thanks for sharing.
thank you @dflo. i hope today the sun is shining bright on your pretty face!
Wonderful poem @phedizzle! The end did cheered me up indeed. When I have my stuff sorted out I think I'll ask you to help me write a song ;) Much love <3
I'm glad it cheered you up a little. ( :
This is beautiful Phe...I found myself wanting to read it over and over again. Nature reminding us of what we need and making us feel whole..... Just lovely. Thank you for sharing this.
I am glad you enjoyed it! This is a few of my old poems mish-mashed and reworked. All my stuff from high school is very sad and dark (writing used to only be therapy ). I am trying to lighten them up to make them more feel good.
really beauty ur poetry
thank you!
Very nice poem, thanks for sharing and let the light shine on :)
Thank you! < :
That was really quite good!
The talk with the tree resonated with me.
I could go on, but you got this one, mon...
Hi wow, I give you full updoot, you follow my leaf. :-)
Thank you for the updoot, mon! one love. hehe
Yo, this was really captivating. I was totally pulled into the atmosphere.
Thank you so much. I can visualize it in my head well enough for words altho sometimes I'd love to be able to make my words visible, if that makes sense. Ooo that reminds me I need to find a video I took of a Willow tree being thrashed around by the wind. Are you up for any spoken word collaboration. I notice almost everyone posting comments on this have a good skill we could bring to a project.
Yup, I love doing spoken word stuff. Either on music or with videos. Let's do it up.
Upvoted and resteemed, all that jazz... I made it to Denver, and in the backyard of my new place is an amazing tree! I regarded it so highly I took a photo of it and included it in my Arrived-In-Denver post... After reading this awesome poem, I was reminded of this new friend of mine! Thanks for that...
Beautiful sky behind the beautiful tree! Glad you made it safely to your new home. On to new beginnings! Thanks for the beautiful picture, too.
