Feeling the Sunshine, Spring 2020
An EHS Student Special Feature Publication
She welcomes herself with beauty
With her chorus of birds and blooms
Our golden bliss has brought us comfort
Her name is Spring
Willow Tree
by Hery Chavez
we desire to be beautiful willow trees
they grow with grandest mind
and bloom with luminous desire.
nothing compares to the way your birds sing songs of hope.
it’s been you all these years,
the tree i ponder under,
the tree i feel so safe under,
the one that lets the sun seep through,
it’s always been you.
in simple words
i desire to be with you.
to grow thick with the bark,
serenade the quiet with the songs of hope the birds once sang,
to sit under the elongated leaves i call home.
dear beautiful willow,
you’ll always be my greatest love.
