For whom the willow weeps

I think I'm starting to believe

that my memories

are more real than me

That as I dream

I am awake

and while I give

I really take

Although I know just what need

I give my love

and pain and greed

without intent

to you, receive

my branches, roots

fruit and seed

for how the leaf takes of the sun

and for whom

the willow weeps

I crave for you

through days of drought

rain, frost

and the reap

and as autumn is a prelude

may our winters never come

for my springtime dreams

manifests anew

every memory of you

with each setting summer sun
