Weeping Willows

by Elizabeth Hoadley

This path
the one i see
is stilled by the breeze
of the weeping willow trees
swaying sorrowfully in amnesty
my purpose, cumbersome, is believed to be
entangled within the laden branches of agony
of those willow trees who weep in harmony.

I understand this moment, the sudden seeing that stops one's progression with realization and insight, and the ironic vision of the weeping trees swaying, the moving that stops us, the feeling of identity, the discordant sigh sent our on the wind, as a unison, or at least a "harmony". This heightening of awareness is beauty, which is what comes of it, the essential consolation, I think. A beautiful expression.
