Weeping willow
Dark summer nights
Fireflies dance across the sky
A peaceful breeze
Our gentle disguise
The weeping willow we rest under shields us from hateful murmurs
Encouraging our tragic demise
But your arms shield me
Withstanding every blow
Keeping me safe
Forever you will hold me
Your protective nature continues to grow
I rest my head on your chest
And sing lullabies
Light enough to drift in the wind
Long enough to reach the skies
You play with my hair
Nulling me to sleep
I'll know I'm safe when the last thing I see is the light in your eyes
Forever this moment lasts
In this dark summer night
While fireflies dance across the sky
A peaceful breeze
Our gentle disguise
The weeping willow we've made a home.
The weeping willow we call our own
The weeping willow... shields us from the things we don't need to know.

Most appropriate for this,the official beginning of autumn. I have heard the murmurs, and am forever thankful, (though often aggrivated', by the 'not knowing' that you allude to. Great write.

Beautifully peaceful and tranquil imagery and to find the protective arms you desire fills the heart with great warmth.
Would we not all want a shield that grows around us? But is it a substitute cocoon for the eggshell you want to break free from? Or perhaps this is a more literal verse of living amongst nature's beauty... in any case, you have painted a vivid portrait of a life filled with love.

just comfort in uncertain dimensions-
weaving a tapestry of safe harbor in a storm , or tempest as it were.
yet still, a beating heart has a constant need to be revived time and time again-
your gentle disguise tricks the foulness of an otherwise complete summers night -
brilliant

I truly believe this is the best write you have put down here at DUP to date.
I am so proud of you and you should be likewise.
Soar on poetess.
