Weeping Willows

Peace lies
along the river bank
sit quietly
under a crack willow
her bark
is coarse and craggy
leaves hang
fringing the river
in cool shade
draped all around you
wafting gently
in the summer breeze
inhale deeply
the damp and earthy aroma
electric blue
damselfly flit in the reeds
fish
rise to take a fly
kingfisher
dive to take a fish
lose self
at One with mother nature
underneath
Britain’s most elegant tree.
