Willow Watch

By the river where it slows

always moist so willow grows

up around the maples tall

here and there, at first small,

sprouts so close and side by side

in row by row a grove so wide

the shore unseen a soul can hide

and, too, a creature dark inside

calls to you as wind will blow

inviting you to space below

beware the pull; avoid the push

lest you are lost within the bush

watch for shadows in the growth

that the sun the source puts forth

and if the sun is blocked and dark

back yourself 'til light the bark

back through willow to the light

back to sun that gives us life
