A WEEPING WILLOW TREE

Folder: 
A COMING TOGETHER

A beautiful canopy swaying
in the breeze
catching echoes  from the
past
gracefully bends her head
looking out over the waters

Drinking in its beauty

tears once more appear
the weeping willow slumps
to the ground crying.

Gracefully bends its head.

Looking out over the waters.

Drinking in its beauty.

Tears once more appear.

The weeping willow, slumps
to the ground crying.

A most unique perspective, an uncommon perspective that certainly intends to honor a rather common plant. The added implication of consciousness, or personality, makes this, in my opinion, most unusual. I am curious as to how this poem came to be written; and, if I may (as a rank amateur) ask a question, how do you determine where the line breaks?
