Free Verse Poem by Daciana Lipai
In the shadow of the willow,
I have searched for my life.
In the coldness of the willow,
Broken, I kneeled and cry.
In the calmness of the willow,
I have felt my absolute helplessness.
In the darkness of the willow,
I have buried a part of my heart.
In the silence of the willow,
Desperately, I became a screaming shade.
In the womb of the willow,
Torn, I have found my nothingness.
In the loneliness of the willow,
Smaller, and smaller, I disappeared completely.
In the disillusion of the weeping willow,
Jaded, I searched for forgiveness.
I have died, over and over again,
At the greatness of the willow.
At the greatness of the willow,
I watched the sky spilling out of love.
