# <center> The Starling and the Willow</center> ## <center> A Love Story</center> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l63ezZjemW4 ## Grandfather North began his hyperborean reign; from his lips algid slivers and shards descended; so began the season of Cimmerian shade. <br> The willow stood naked, elegant, and graceful Lithe limbs dancing to a dirge of the iced, the elegiacal She whispered to the shivering starling <i>Come, little bird, take harbourage Among my impoverished laments I offer shelter, all I have to give Come; endure this dark together</i> The starling drew near Flew among her wind-blown tears His wings grew strong and supple But within the ephemeral, the wispy There was no terra on which to settle The starling said <i>a still, sturdier roost, I must find</i> He flew to a nearby silent and stoic maple Upon its thick branches, most dependable He plumped out his iridescent plumes Thought neβer of the laments of the willow And here our tale of amour becomes one of sorrow Love stands powerless as nature levels her fatal blow A starling can fly but must eventually come to nest A willow remains moving while always at rest A starling is a starling, a willow a willow Neither can change, for love or for woe So the starling keeps; so the willow weeps # <center>***</center> The Starling and the Willow is published in [Strays](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=pryde+foltz&ref=nb_sb_noss_1) and available [here](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=pryde+foltz&ref=nb_sb_noss_1)It can also be ordered in through your local bookstores and libraries. <center> [![DIGITAL_BOOK_THUMBNAIL copy 2.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWJw3SLR18pL3vTRTowtXX318gesAZeDMJSLVgqQ5PGRn/DIGITAL_BOOK_THUMBNAIL%20copy%202.jpeg)]( https://www.amazon.com/s?k=pryde+foltz&ref=nb_sb_noss_1)</center> All words are my own
