Willow

It's your birthday again
Another cycle 'round the sun that you didn't see
I am sitting on the grass still wet from rain
Talking to the glistening willow tree
I tell it stories of this past year
I catch it up on all the gossip
Taking on the cadence of the wind in the branches
And the sporadic drips

At some point I realize
That I've crossed a threshold
I start to tremble
As the grief takes hold
I've lived more of my life since your death
Than I did while you were here
I give into my emotions
And stop fighting the tears

I'll be back again next year
To pretend that you can hear me
As if your spirit inhabits
This gentle old willow tree
