the wise old willow

whispers in the wind

miles away I catch a word

sweet like honey

warm like home


she calls out again

a magnetizing whisper

inviting me home

to hers or my own

I cannot tell

as I make to turn left

on my well-worn path

her beckon to me

pierces through the wind


come further my child

don’t turn back yet

a little further and you will find

a sacred place

where our souls intertwine

as we will go forth as one
