Force in Life

Brian Looney

    Willows sing with many voices, voices that hum or drawl, gusting through the grove, the kind that entice, power evident. I wonder what their faces looked like. Were they full and fleshy or gaunt and haggard?

    It’s not about choice; let us make that clear. Some voices work like bait. Escape is futile; they have their own agendas. There’s always one or two advancing, chilling, hooking. But my brain’s too callous, too hard-wired. I’m talking about the willows.

    Willows sing with many voices, so stop all things and welcome. No need to bring up heaven.

    Breathe unsteadily, shut out the rest, live with the ones you get. They have a use; they groan with delight. They don’t invite stagnation. They cherish the confident, the proud, the surging, the force in life.
