Willow

I see her

She stares out

Across and over

When she's told

She hunts the ground

The loss takes over

As expected

She stays low

Buckled in shade

Waiting for some kind of hope

Competing feelings of disbelief

What is this? What is this?

Seek your shelter beneath the leaves

Promises, promises

Cover regained, you still suffer the rain

Despite the deafening sound

I hear the weeping of the

Willow

Only the sleepless mother will know

What it takes to leave a light behind

Willow

Your secrets safe inside

This life, a shrine to those lost

We look to the mother

To summon a force within us all

And though her grip struggles

She still holds the key to every door

You plant the seed that holds belief

Within this grief, there is release, and you will see it

(We lose focus) this season

(We lose sight) this void of yours

(But look to the water) resolve comes closer

(And there we find) there we find you

Willow

Only the sleepless mothеr will know

What it takеs to leave a light behind

Willow

Your secrets safe inside

This life, a shrine to those lost!
