Woebegone

On a windy spring day
the willows will sway
their droopy green branches
all slanted one way
and a long wistful cruise
does not help me lose
ambivalent blues
beneath skies of gray.

  1. This one just blew me away. (I can't resist either.) ;)

  2. In my first recollections of being alive, we lived in a little (I guess) house that had a weeping willow in the yard. I think of that willow whenever I see or read about one. Never had one since. Beautiful arrangement of words.

    Willows tell a story
    Some may think it sad or without glory
    But there's more to be said
    Of the grace in it's stead
    Not to break but to bend
    So the story it can send
    To us about the news
    There's so much more underneath
    Gray skies, if you choose to
    See past the blues
