| Dryad by Todd Lockwood |
Willow loves nature her home in the trees
planting her roots deep into the earth
waltzing to the hum of the bumble bees
songs heard in a breeze, a dryad at birth
mystical protector light in vibrant hues
swaying in rhythm to the rivers beat
on her limbs in ink forever tattooed
he comes to write verses at her feet
here in this spot the two become one
spirits soaring, a dragon's mighty tale
composing great fantasies in the sun
until the day she opened her email
developers had bought all the land
her lovely green home would be cut down
willow cried for days, she could barely stand
they wanted to expand growing a bigger town
Willow packed her things, where would she go
traveling homeless, he whispered her name
a new place to be, her wings began to glow
for you my lovely dryad, I've come to claim
together they
found a new forest of dreams
where tree nymphs don't have to sign a lease
dancing gleefully under
blue moonbeams
in a 100 acre wood they finally find peace
