The Willow
by Sidhe
Age Group: Adult
I asked the willow why she wept
and this is the story she had kept:
Along time ago in a far way land,
people lived with nature hand in hand.
A beautiful creature with long flowing hair
ruled these peoples gentle and fair.
The strand of each hair was a powerful wand
and the magic here was very strong.
Now a raging storm came off the sea
and pounded the land ferociously.
The people were getting quite a scare,
so they ran to the creature to prepare.
The creature turned into a glowing light
and filled the people, melting their fright.
A strand of hair was given to these,
which changed them into willow trees.
Along with the storm a ship was blown in
And the men who landed were dark and grim.
They saw all around them glorious trees
And decided to cut them and gather the seeds.
From port to port they sold their bounty
And the seeds were scattered all over the country.
Over the years the trees have grown strong
But they weep for the people, the creature now gone.
So if you have a willow tree,
Love and care for it tenderly.
The magic is there for you to share,
Just open your heart and it will be there.
