Willow weave
Propensity near a water source
Figure in mythology and literature
A symbol of the moon
Healing soon
Salicylic acid,
an ingredient in aspirin too
From the bark,
of a willow tree,
they knew pain free
Native Americans,
chewed willow bark
Pain fever rheumatism,
and inflammation,
as early as 500 BC
Documented in Greek literature
Temperature fixer
Rustic beauty,
ancient wisdom of a tree
Willow’s regenerative properties,
everlasting life be
Reproduced by a twig,
in a moist soil dig
Renewal growth,
vitality immortality host
Circular or horseshoe shape
Glory, power and eternity
Ancient Greece and Rome
Crowns were made,
of wool and foliage grown
Myrtle and ivy leaves
Adorned with different flowers
Holding various associations,
through time,
for days and hours
Moon water
Lunar time
Third quarter
Cleansing energy,
self care remedy
