The Shores of Alone

A weeping Willow near my door,
symbolic of my life before.

Heavy branches sadly bent,
wonder where the vibrance went.

I lean against his trunk so strong,
and think about the loves gone wrong.

I sit under my tree and weep,
he seems the only love I keep.

The rest, they turn to blowing leaves.
Leave me in dust and still in need.

But here in the back yard with me,
my ever faithful Willow tree.

Beautiful Poem. You have loved and so you know the permanance of the Weeping Willow - for only the tears are permanent to remain with us - the rest is the wind - blown away.
Everything about this poem was just right - length,structure,content,flow

whatcha doing in this darkness baby
when you know love will set you free?
will you stay in the sea forever
Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live

I sit under my tree and weep,
he seems the only love I keep.

i really love this line.. it's so sad but strangely comforting, at least for me.

Sandra......'Atta girl! Great!

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

Sweet and melancholy Cat!! You need a pet too I think? Make your home, your yard your sanctuary so everywhere you turn there is a friend from nature or a garden statue, to remind you, life is good, life is beautiful, just like you are... We all need the reminders, and today seems to me like you need a few more.. *hugs* and email me if you need to talk hon.

I loved it very much, still, loving a tree doesn't quite seem comforting to me...
