Meet Me Where Sadness Grows
In a Canopy of Living Shadows
Meet me underneath the willows
Plagued by constant sorrows
Staying strong in their roots
As all around pollutes
Nothing can lower them more
No matter how much the rains pour
In it, they find solace
Being flawed amongst the flawless
Meet me where they dissolve our pain
And help us feel like ourselves again
Meet me where the branches shy
From the power of the sun up high
But still soldier against each day
Still always finding some way
To remain when so much has gone
No matter what cards are drawn
Meet me where the shade is a shield
Where all our secrets will be concealed
Sewn into their leaves straight to their cores
Where we dance over them upon earthen floors
Meet me where the clouds turn gray
Where we can always say
Just what we feel, our thoughts, and dreams
Show every part, including our seams
Meet me inside the canopy of living shadows
Meet me where sadness grows
Until then, I'll be asleep
Beneath where the willows weep
