Always surprised at the places I find Lorine.Mostly I find her on Blackhawk Island which is near my home.
My friend tree
I sawed you down
but I must attend
an older friend
the sun LN
My favorite of hers, remembering her Mother:
“Hear
where her snow-grave is
the YOU
ah, YOU
of mourning doves”
Thanks for bring her, and the doves, to mind this morning.
She inspires one to follow in her steps,
to just catch hold of one thing a day that
stops your heart for a minute, and soon one
would have a whole life, one’ s own life …captured.
This need to capture, to share…where does it come from?
