OPO Revisited | When I die, lay me down under a willow tree by Peyton Michelle Bryant

One Poem Only is a daily ritual: one poem, center stage, just for now. This month on One Poem Only, I’m revisiting poems that stayed with me long after recording them. Some became listener favorites; others quietly became favorites of my own. One Poem Only Revisited is an invitation to return—to listen again, reflect, and discover what feels different now. Today’s poem is When I die, lay me down under a willow tree by Peyton Michelle Bryant.
