 Whispers through the willows The willows sway gently with the summer breeze Whispering winds softly stroke the willows leaves ~~~ Gentle winds whisper secrets only the willow knows Whispering winds only travel where the willow grows ~~~ To softly whisper through the willows secrets never told The whispering wind knows his secrets the willow will always hold ~~~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |

Tracie~ What a soft and lovely whisper of the willows. They do dance with such a gentle sway. One of my favorite trees with a personality of its own. Thank you for sharing this beauty. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Yes, may the willows forever sway on, but not weeping with sorrow, weeping also with joy, love, and hope. Excellent poem! Thank you for sharing, my friend! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Tracie, I can feel that summer breeze . . . I particularly like the first stanza. It could stand alone. But who's the guy with the secrets? Hmmm, a little mystery there, and begs for more. |
