“BENEATH THE WILLOW”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
I sat beneath the willow
as it wept tears of joy
that kissed the lazy
stream as
it swam on by…

Memories are of your
desires when
we made love
under its boughs for
the first time on an
early summer day…

The sun warmed the
grass on the bank
of the stream as
it captured
tender sighs, and
it carried
them
gently through
the meadow.

I remember that special
summer day,
beneath the willow…

BillCharles~

I REALLY like this thought -

'I sat beneath the willow
as it wept tears of joy
that kissed the lazy
stream as
it swam on by…'


Good to see you friend~
How's that Arizona life treating you ?
