Loves Sweet Sorrow Part Two
The Morn Arises

The restless night had not prevented the sun
from making a daily journey to morns arising
the lace trimmed pillows strewn across the bed
still wet from tears she had been softly crying.

She stepped out onto the veranda for breakfast
just like she had done on every other morn
heavy was her heart from loves sweet sorrow
there was no hunger, her heart was now torn.

Her daily stroll she made past the orchards
the aroma of peach hanging heavy on the air
she paused to tarry amongst the willow trees
coming to rest in her favorite faded wicker chair.

This had become her tranquil place of mind
as though her spirits own private sanctuary
it was here that she loved listening to the wind
and lonesome whistle sounds of passing ferries.

Willow trees bending over touching the ground
reminded her of angel tears falling from the sky
but this day they were not the tears of angels
it was her own tears the willows did now cry.
