Fervent are the willows, bowed reverent in sacred rain Flowing arms in elegance, withdrawn in shy refrain How well the riverbanks provide in thirsty cloudless spells To wait the thunder rolls that pour libation to full wells Frequently the searching roots will seek a liquid source In hidden, seeking brevity where once the rivers course How soon to saturated, in crystal flows the bloodline clear To wait the thunder rolls in bring of drink and shower near Fair and upturned greenery of unkempt vinery locks In quiet fortitude to bend the storms of after shocks How soon these regal plantings grow so strongly sensitive To wait the thunder rolls and water wholes all relative Copyright Kkh 8/2/02 |

ThisDiamond - one of my favorite trees is the willow. Why, I'm not sure. Just peaceful they are, as they stand by the river. Very nice write... BC |

Thank you for bringing me the images of the willow beside the 'stream.' I love willows and have seen them draped over rivers, lakes and ponds. Lovely to get to see them in my mind's eye again by your vivid use of words. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

  (smiles) Awwwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, willows are always so pretty to me and enchanting when raindrops fall down their leaves!
