Weeping Willow
submissive branches bow
graceful relaxation
limp arms flexible
dangling without care
down to earth display
getting down to our level
descent downward
drooping drowsily
never resisting rest
yield to control
delve into discovery
reaching lowest point
boughs relent
nature repents
humble willow
reaches out
Girl Behind Waterfall
behind waterfall
girl resides in her dream world
enjoys realm alone
sun’s rays hit water
rainbows paint her skies each day
imagination soars
no pots of gold there
only cauldrons of thoughts
pure inspiration
never lonely place
ideas, her companions
no visitors come
waterfall changes
turbulence seen in its flow
someone is inside
human face breaks through
solitary realm now found
no rainbows appear
Alcove of Echoes
Alone in dark cave
Find way by feeling around
Sense of sight is gone
Touching rough cave walls
Feeling cobwebs tickle skin
Hearing bat wings flap
Hands find ledge to sit
Cozy comfort seat to rest
Curl up in ball, sleep
Awaken puzzled
Yell to see if someone’s there
Familiar voice heard
Keep asking questions
Constant replies bounce back fast
Voice almost mimics
Speaking gives comfort
As long as replies are heard
Owner of voice, friend
Same talk continues
As time goes by, voices grow hoarse
Fatigue claims victims
Wake up and can’t speak
Silence begins echoing
Mute whispers taunt mind
