We Weep with the Willow

We Weep with the Willow

by Kathy Czekaj
Manasquan Meeting

 

When a whole city drowns

When a forest is in flames

We still hang on to hope

As we weep with the willow.

When nature breathes so hard

Choking on its own pollution

When the lakes dry up from drought

We pray while our earth cries out.

In the storms of destruction on a gusty summer’s day

For those forced to migrate as their homes are washed away
