regal willow leaning there I am the river of dreams grow old beside me give me your shade let me water your sighs and seep your roots wet sway your shadow dance and make reflections on my smile look at my eyes looking up see the sky in my blue greens see your lovely limbs entwined in my surface regal willow leaning there © Dark |

Like the implications of this DS! Great writing! They are definitely a mystic type of water tree aren't they? Almost like they talk! This is just a wonderful read! |

When willow grows too old drooping leaves, disturbing soil be ready for the fall let your waters cover me take me in one last time saturate me as one for you fed me beauty brought life to my limbs willow feeds your thoughts [This message has been edited by Sunshine (06-07-2002 06:46 AM).] |

You have ways with trees that I can only imagine Dark one..Did you know that the roots of a willow have been found to travel miles for water?.. Sincerely, Reg |

Bent weeping willow Shampoos her hair in the pool~ Combs it, green-fingered. The green willow branch Hearing the swan's farewell call, Shivers in the breeze. Invisible wind, I know where you are, when the Soft willows curtsey. ~morning hugs to you Dark~ |

DarkStranger~ Beside the 'river of dreams' in sweep of draping bough Willow's dance captures the wind skirting her about~ Caressing tendrils reach thoughts so fair Touching poet's with quilling flair~ Regally she reigns in search of rain Underground creeping to moisturized seeping~ Willowed Queen in loving preen Swaying words across the screen~ ***Okay !! Is your post ripe with inspire, or what ? GREAT post, sir~ And .... thanking you for the thoughts~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

DS Nature is the first teacher...I loved this poem, the symbiotic relationship of the tree and the river can apply to people, yes...quite often. Smiling at you! |

bags, thanks for the read and re. SY, I suspect it is the tears of pleasure we see there, as she measures her contentment of blending with her river lover... thanks my friend |
