Willow

close my eyes

to hear you pray

charming girl

wrapped in white chiffon

and play

beneath the sadness

we walked in sunshine

out of the rain

we blossomed

and grew

beneath the willow and the yew

child of my own eyes

turned inside

skipping in silent reverie

roaming still

inside of me

you bloom

you bloom

for yesterday is through

sadness spins us out 

into the day lit spin

weaves us 

as threads

into the mystery 

within

take my hand child

leap 

into the vast expanse

of what is

we were never parted

merely 

disconnected 

from our source

hold my hand child

i am yours
