Through The Willow Curtain

There was no pond when you came here


you have stood and your tears have pooled


now I stand by though summer may call


choosing the site as most suited


You are the willow bending over the pond


and just as time's appointments are meaningless 


to you, I'll be your close correspondant


but forgive me if I obtrude, understand when I recede


I choose the site most suited, or it chooses me


and chained by honesty where we belong


we'll commence to compliment the scene as one

I really liked this poem Adam - the image of the willow bending over the pond is one that could be played with in many ways. It and the whole poem also made me think of the waterfall I walked behind at the weekend - Sgwd yr Eira in the Brecon Beacons. Thanks for posting. Col.

Loved the way it is painted. The title instigated curiosity. ?
