With Faith...

Drawing: The Weeping Willow Tree

The evening is grim

with shadows that whisper
quietly amongst themselves,

secrets of the darkened night

hidden in the outline of a willow

Silent is the moment as

currents stir with movement,

buzzing along the curvatures of

the foliage lined path that longs
to live beyond their dark haven

Can’t light come to thee?

Can’t streams of bright beckoned

suddenly appear for the moment?

Can’t in an instant there be a promise?

A light to shine for tomorrow?

I shan’t be bewildered for it is

with faith my answer is - yes!
