Two New Poems

Tree Weeping Song
By Tommie Stovall

The Willow and the Cherry trees both sigh deeply with me.
The Willow weeps the wind that cries through its branches.
The Cherry's blossoms are its tears that fall like waterdrops in the late Spring.
My sadness is like the rain flowing in a fast stream.
I stand below the Willow and the Cherry with beauty masking such pain.

Mary The Rose
By Tommie L Stovall

Hail Mary Rose of the Father
Jesus the bud of thy flower
Your sweet odors permeate all.
Peace be with us and come from thee.

Even thy thorns are beautiful
They prick but do no harm
Thou blood is pure and healing
Peace be with us and come from thee.

Hail Mary Rose of the Father
Jesus the bud of thy flower
Your message echoes wisdom
Peace be with us and come from thee.

Even your visions are powerful
They enlighten, share thy majesty
For thou art light from darkness
Peace be with us and come from thee.

Hail Mary Rose of the Father
Jesus the bud of thy Flower
Your gift most gracious
Peace be with us and come from thee.
