Deep in a Forgotten Wood
Deep in a forgotten wood
Lies a willow tree
From it hangs heavy leaves
Covered in rain
The roots of the willow run deep
And are attached to its surroundings
Never to let go
Never to unfold
If you were to return to this tree
What would you do?
Would you set it upon fire,
Or rather embrace it?
Maybe you would sit for a spell
Read a book, relax
Enjoy the pleasures that the willow has to offer
And remember that they aren't permanent
But should this tree disappear,
Would you miss it?
Would you stand in its wake
Or would you walk away and never look back
When the tree is long gone,
I hope you know how powerful it truly is
And if you ever get lost in the wood,
Know that there forever lies a blossom
With its petals in full bloom
Awaiting your return
