Dancing on waters edge,
to the sound of gentle breeze.
Movements synchronized,
and flow with blissful ease.
Reflections of beauty,
mirrored on the glass below.
Rare insight captured,
as locks sway to and fro.
Rhythm's ever changing,
as wind provides the beat.
Responding gracefuly,
perfection seldom so complete.
Happy, sad, feisty, or mad,
seems our Willow's never sleep.
During their tranquility,
our Willow's appear to weep.
Author notes
The Weeping Willow is my favorite tree. I love to find them right next to a lake!

What a beautiful poem with perfect rhyme. I loved this verse;
Her rhythm's ever changing
as is the music's beat.
Responding seems natural,
rare is perfection so complete.
Well done and merry christmas.

This piece can reflect the Weeping Willow, or just Mother Nature herself. It's so descriptive, and beautiful. It has a slight bit of sadness, which has to do with her beauty. Excellent piece.
