Whispers of the Willow
Whispers of the willow
Gesture in silken grace
As the Maiko glides
With ease from dance to song
Weaving soothing images
Of fantasy and care
In effortless synergy
Symbolic of a dieing culture
With each caressing adjective
Wrapped gently around
Broken spirits she grasps
The beauty that is Geisha
As she grows to her training
A magnetic musical smile
Penetrates the depths
Of her patrons hopelessness
Her Balm of quiet strength
Paints a layer of compassion
That accompanies her practice
Of art and music
With each gentle artistic stroke
A spirit arises that responds
To her flexible resiliance in kind
Gentle as whispers of the willow
