Lorna

When tree limbs rub like crickets leg
They sing the song that speaks your name
Again and again: Lorna

When the wind will turn the door
In and and in out like an accordion playing
I hear the song that speaks your name
Again and again: Lorna

When evening turns from memory
To sleep and pillow of a weary brain
The echo of a hollow heart is: Lorna.

A lovely and romantic tribute to a special gal, how funny love is that makes us hear their name with the wonderful sounds of nature and everything around reminds us of that person. Love this! Thank you for your kind comments on my work, always appreciated.
