i'm not sure where this came from.....just something i needed to get out..... Once upon a time I played beneath the blooming branches of an ancient willow tree content beneath it's magical embrace i dared to live my childish dreams And as time passed I stood beneath the gently swaying branches of an ancient willow tree uncertian of my life, myself and dying to know whom I'd one day become Soon time came to be I leaned against the dying branches of an ancient willow tree reflecting on what once was i found the strength that wise tree once held in it's tender grasp Forever time stands still as golden rays of sunlight stream though wind danced branches I say farewell to the innocent dreams of a child begining my path to destiny "god is the biggest under-achiever I know,something good happens god is great,something bad happens,he now works in mysterious ways" |

A beautiful poem, and a lovely image: the ageing willow tree. Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |

Very nice...loved the imagery. Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. -William Wordsworth- |

Yes, I also liked it. Nice image. Did you ever see the book The Giving Tree? It's a childrens book but I have always loved it. Similar thoughts anyway.. It is so hard to let go of all the dreams. Wish the end of innocence would not be so painful. |

Great poem! This reminds me of a Shel Silversien book I read as a child...I think it was called "The Giving Tree".....The concept of aging and loss of innocence reminded me.....Of corse I think yours is more elegantly put! |
