Reminded Me - Of Life

There....
by the mainstream of life
is the willow tree,
overhanging branches,
streetlamps
and cascading beams
of light.


As floods of souls walked by
the air filled with words
on occasion -
despair is heard.


Then all sound stops!

For a solitary tear -
smashed into the pavement
but no one hears
except the tender leaves
of the willow.....
frolicking in the wind.


Reach for me -
feel the silk
touch my cheek
let them all walk by
as I stand frozen
in that moment, which
stood alone in time
as a willow leaf -
touched me.


And reminded me -
of life.
