Whispers of Willows 05/01/2026

Listen to the whispers
From the majestic willow
Standing tall
With long
Arching branches
Caressing the sky.

Observe how
It sways
Back and forth
Adjusting
To the wind
Movements
All around.

Being flexible
Being fluid
Standing sturdy
In turbulent
Surroundings.

Reminding us
To remain claim
To find balance
Never showing
Signs of distress
Or anguish
Of any kind.

Learn to
Be present
In the moment
Tis where courage
And fortitude
Are found
While facing fears
That surface
During
Difficult times.

It’s ok to adjust
It’s ok to flex
That’s how to
Find calmness
And serenity
When worries
Are mounting
And alignment
Is needed
To survive.
