The Breeze and the Willow Tree


~ The Breeze And The Willow Tree ~

It is my way

to start the day

by opening my door


to step outside

breathe in the air

so fresh, so clean, so clear


to marvel at the clouds afloat

in skies of grey or blue — to

feel the sun upon my face

on mornings she shines through


to smell the air

breathe out a prayer

‘ere turning to my work


~~~~~~~~


how I love a sun kissed morning

especially on a chilly day

bundled up, I bathe a while

in it’s cheerful soothing ray


I notice patterns in my willow

hear music in her dance as she

sways and waves her limbs at me

while leaning on the arms of wind


The slightest breeze

Inspires my tree to

sway and dance a bit

her silent music rocks my soul

as I keep time with it


sometimes they swirl staccato

when the wind is fierce and free, but

I like it best when they slow dance

the breeze and the willow tree

I am stopping by briefly.j This morning I felt the chill on my face. I was thankful for the chill, and my ability to drive again. I tried to be thankful for the ice on my car windows. Diane in Sarnia

Hi Diane - thanks for stopping by! So glad to hear you are able to drive again. I’ve given it up for the safety of everyone around me. Am finding other ways to entertain myself and interact. Life is good. I loved the pic you posted of your bicycle ride. What a great idea that is! Take care and stay well! -JoMae
