Willow Wind Dance

            ~*~

On the pond
reeds of cat tail dry
brown seed gone to fluff
left to wind
there, ice is shimmering
crusting pond,
trapped life below
still come, still winter day

Willow bare
lowering fingers of limb to earth
draping over in exhausted slumber
sleep, Willow, sleep

Hibernation of gray
cooled sun’s rays
wait, wait, wait for new day
shhh, wait…  wait…  wait…

On the pond
winds shift
blue ice cracks in deepening chill
white graces Willow, now
in slumber’s resting grace
at peace, at peace,
long night shivering

Now read slow,
as that is
how the day
shall glow

For time shall pass
winds shall howl
wolves shall prowl
deer shall travel by
owl will grace
long night’s sky

All will come about
in His good time,
season to season
to give rhythm to rhyme

First sign of warm
comes from rays of morn
Willow feels the blood of life
course and course through her veins
and slowly beckons life to spring
from pond, slowly fingering
lowered limbs
come…
     come…
          come…


Pond awakens
life begins to croak alive
Cardinal sits among Willow’s branch
singing song of wake,
trilling song of life
warbling song of love

Inviting bluebird to come
join
colors Willow bright
reds and blues

Willow pushes forth her dress
of slender yellow-green lacy skirt
soft spring winds come to claim
first dance of Willow’s spring

Dance, Willow, Dance

Shift in wind of spring
beckon hearts to sing
while all to wear fresh green
to visit oft pond’s scene

Capturing the Willow Wind Dance

Sunshine, no reply could adequately express my response to your beautiful poem, so I am gracefully 'boughing' out!

Wow, dear Karilea! What a precious gift, I am so grateful and honored.

I read it and felt a very intense emotion grow in my heart and this happens when words really touch me deeply with their beauty.

This is a gem and I'll keep it in my library along with your fantastic "Pine Tree" (the solitary one!).



The Willow Wind Dance is an inspired work of art....showing your heart and your skills.
You danced along in this dance!

Thank you so!
Hugs and love!
Margherita

A graceful dance you describe...flowing beautifully.  

Tonight these words seem to sing sweetly in my ears for so many reasons.

All will come about
in His good time,
season to season
to give rhythm to rhyme

So enjoyed, Karilea.
