For There is no Perfect World

Leaves from the weeping willow tree sway so tenderly in the wind

The fingers of mothers engulfing the world offering their protection

Turning a blind eye to all the imperfections

Grasping on to all that pass by

Omnipresent, caressing, reassuring, nurturing

 

Swaying so freely respecting what is worldly

The limber limbs seem to smile touching all

Saying won’t you put your faith in me

Embracing warmly all that is the being

 

Even so the wind becomes still

The limber Limbs once flowing so freely fall to the ground

Releasing the seeds

Some producing beautiful flowers others becoming the darkness

 

Thriving on the imperfections

The Willow Tree stands tall and begins to flow freely once again

Accepting the impurities and becoming stronger

Eager to scoop up the darkness

For There is no Perfect World
