Secret

Lorna



We hide

Under layers of survival

And dangers above

Safe in beds of denial

Under threats

That chafe and callous us enough

To deflect when the rains come

      You're only 5 hours ahead of me so that's called a "nap" I think........Fido doesn't sound sleepy at all.....

      A masterpiece of short-line poetry - such a penned truth for most of us too dear Lorna - this has to be one of your best and is now in my list of real faves - -- and yes
      a Cohen number too - well wow what more could I need today. Thanking you dearly.

        Such true words Lorna, we hope they can be deflected into harmony one day.

          Just like Orchi I'll never be able to sing a note so you'll have to do the harmonizing Andy!
