The Willow Whispers
written by: Mehwish Tayyab
If dreams could take you far away,
To the desired place, where the leaves sway.
In the swirled wind you hear whispers,
As the long boughs of a willow tree decipher.
The gentle breeze brings a memory, a face,
Yet unknown, it hovers all over the place.
Sitting under the willow’s shade for ages,
Writing unsaid things on torn pages.
Oh, the weightless wind, carry a poem,
Can a restless heart bring him home?
The willow whispers of silence and whim,
The unsaid words too, until it finds him.
