Kristina Woolman
Romancing Nature
Countless songs have praised,
from earth and heavenward,
her willowy beauty, her silken locks
dangling loosely like waterfalls.
One day, capricious summer breeze,
well-known naughty boy,
with gentle touch that sways her to dance
beginning their romance with joy.
That windy boy whispered lustily,
ensured the girl of love everlasting.
He played his flirt; he’s gone with ease,
what signifies a summer breeze.
She’s left with crying, pure heart
and dripping dew of sorrow.
All dreams at once have broken apart.
She is a lonely weeping willow.
