As Willows Weep

A heavy mist crept over the hills
Through the oak ridge and pines….
It settles low in the valley
And heavy on my mind….
A somber brother
Kin to the moonless night….
A lonely lover
With no will to fight….
Broken hearted
He lays his babe to sleep….
And sits in silence
To watch the willows weep….
