The Ostrich Pose

Lorna



Too shy to look for comfort's arms

Too sad to laugh like yesterday

Too sore from trials of life's alarms

Too glad for no more company

But there is still one thing she seeks

To take her hands and block it out

It can't get her what she can't see

Behind the hands she'll have no doubts

      Lorna,

      There are times when one
      must bury their head in
      the sand, but ultimately
      “...behind the hands
      she’ll have no doubts “...

      An awesome write that will
      resonate beyond the read!
      I enjoyed the excellent
      choice of lyrics by
      Garrett Hedlund to accentuate your poem!
      Did you see the movie
      COUNTRY STRONG?

      ~Laura~

          greatly defined.
          the way you used the words.
          good harmony.
