This piece brought me some tears Marga. Willows were my grandmother's favourite trees and this beautiful poem made me feel like she's right beside me, in whatever shape or form <3
Thank you for expressing. It hits the fibres of my being.
This was beautiful. “Survival is not weakness simply because it learns to bow” really stayed with me. I love how the willow becomes a way to talk about endurance without making it loud or heroic. Just standing, softened, still reaching toward light.
Willow trees are my favorite kind of trees! This was such an awesome read for me cause I’ve been wondering the same thing too. There’s something deeply poetic about them!!
Right?! There’s something so grounding yet mysterious about them that just perfectly captures that whimsical energy. Always great to find a fellow willow tree lover! 🩶
When I was born, my family planted a willow tree. 🌳 It's my favorite tree, and it means something special to me. What a beautiful poem! I hope you get to see one in person someday.
This was beautiful. I love how the willow becomes a symbol of a quieter kind of strength—the kind that bends, endures, and keeps reaching for the light despite carrying the weight of every storm. “Survival is not weakness simply because it learns to bow” is a line I’ll be thinking about for a long time. 🌿🤍
