Weightless Boughs Poem by Frank Bana

Lost among the tallest trees
Men drowning of the green
Bury me under weightless boughs
Where I may not be seen

So I will come to visit you
In your nights of peace
Talk with me to comfort me
Still youthful in your sleep

Out there on the motorway
The gridlock of the dawn
Here beside a cherry tree
A hoof of newborn fawn

Ducks beneath the willow tree
My widow weeping silently
You let me down so tenderly
Leaving me rest eternal.
