Willow in the Wind

Willow in the wind you amaze me
Swaying and undulating, you excite me
I feel the rhythm of the breeze
The passion of the gentle caress
Of your leaves brushing my skin
I lay in wonder beneath your limbs
I feel the cool earth beneath me
I see the rays of sunshine raining through
The sun warms me and fills me with grace
Your shade is enriching my soul
In the storm you hold up your arms
You wave and flap your wings
As if you are ready to fly to the sky
But you stay with me rooted deep
Your strength and determination holds me
When the wind is gone you stand there calm
The peaceful and delicate leaves draw lines
Lines of swirls and twirls in wavy silk
Your gentle look and tender soft vision
Touch my heart and give me love
