Under The Willow Tree

Growing up in NewEngland I remember hiding under the willow trees. Dreaming of my future. When things in life get me down I remember those days when life was so simple and dreams were born.

 Under The Willow Tree

 
Under the willow tree,
my childhood secret space,
dreams were born
I was free 'twas the
perfect hiding place.
Beneath her cascading branches 
gentle breezes whispering,
songs of hope and wonder
the willow tree did sing.
Awe those days of youth
where innocence was born,
under the willow tree
I found shelter from the storm.
What I wouldn't give
to visit once again,
that secret space
my hiding place
that gave me peace back then.

"Once upon a hill we sat beneath a willow tree
counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn..."
Oh yes. There is something about a willow tree that stirs
the senses and jogs memories. Mine were not as innocent as yours.
A beautiful poem, Kathy.

Weeping willows make wonderful hiding places.

Kathy:

That's a really powerful and evocative poem. A kid who doesn't have a place all his or her own to play, dream, and imagine. Is so much the poorer.

God bless,

ChipB.

Everyone, especially when we are very young, needs a place they can call "theirs," even if it isn't in thew real world, but it is in a child's mind when they are beginning to try to sort out life's drama. Mine was to go into the woods near where I lived.

I too found peace, contentment under the willow tree where I grew up. I still love those trees and find out when I pass them on a country ride - I salute to them and find peace again.
