Beside the sparkling lake
The seeping willow casts it’s reflection against the blue,
A dark silhouette that it makes
Where the water lilies blossomed from the surface of the turquoise
hue
With the coming of the wind,
Its branches swayed rhythmically
Back and forth, back and forth… soothing the mind
The sorrow and grief are swept away gradually
Once, it saw a group of children running ever so sprightly
Heard their running footsteps and innocent laughter
They climbed its branches and hid behind its trunk so
thickly
As they played hide and seek and each other they chased
after
Once it served as a shelter for a lost woman on a stormy
winter night
The long sweeping branches served as a protective blockade
Against the world that only seemed black and white
And against the cold and the seeping rain that made her so
afraid
But now the blunt blade of the axe crunched into the fragile
trunk
The tree struggled to retain its posture but failed
Finally, gave in to the pain that was brought as into the
trunk the axe sunk
Along with it the memories faded, in the last breath that it
inhaled
