Desiderium

A weeping willow's secret to the universe

By Krysten GuilbaultPublished 23 days ago 1 min read

Inside the whispering enchanted forest,

lays the answer to one's desiderium.

An entwining secret that is interwoven with the glistening sorrows of the weeping willow.

She’s wise and holds that long-forgotten knowledge of the universe.

But if you listen carefully,

you will hear her share eternity’s story through the rustling leaves that graze and tickle the earth.

Walk into her canopy and take harbour.

Feel the earth beneath your feet and notice how the moss yields a bounteous bed, the forest’s blanket.

Close your eyes and listen.

The trickling water dances to the rhythm of a Symphany Orchestra.

The cacophony is comprised of chirping crickets, elegant voices of the birds, and the tranquil aeolian.

Yet, there is an inaudible silence that takes hold of all the worries and angst that has asphyxiated your soul.

For when you truly succumb to the magic and healing of our mother,

you have felt the all-encompassing love of the universe.
