The Willow’s Poem

Summary:

If the Willow in your backyard could speak, what would she say?

Notes:

The very talented @janethewanderingwitch, wrote an incredibly beautiful poem about the Willow tree reader’s mom’s essence is imbued inside.

She wondered, if the willow tree could speak while watching over over your family, (especially after seeing the baby) what would she say?

This poem means so much to me, and it feels like the perfect conclusion to reader’s mom’s arc.

Work Text:

Let the wind lift my leaves up to graze your cheeks fondly.

Lay your heads near me, while my curtains of green shield you from the world.

Gather and tell me your stories, and I'll hum to the sound of your voices.

Bring your lovers and carve their letters against me.

Pour your devotion into their lips under my canopy of green.

Come to me and bury your worries, and I'll grow arms curved to the shape of you.

I will hold you with the smoothness of new branches, and the firmness of eternal love.

My roots are planted in the soil of a home that I will never part from.

To be with you for eternity, is to be in heaven.

I will be here to love you for all that you are, and all that you will be.
