The Susurration of the Willow
By Megan N
Published 1 August 2024
1. Admist a meadow’s gentle sway,
2. The willow weeps at the close of a day.
3. Its branches like an author’s quill,
4. Trace verses on the water’s still.
5. The moon, a bright lantern high,
6. Weaves starlight, ravelling across the sky.
7. In the tranquil and serene hours,
8. The willow shares its menacing flowers.
9. Its leaves, like feather-veined tanzanite unfurls,
10. For in the willow’s whispering songs,
11. Is where the rhythm of our hearts belongs.
