WOODLAND WHISPERS
13 June 2011

As she whispered his name
there were trees sighing low,
in a mournful refrain.  

The buck paused on the plain.
They lifted their heads
as she whispered his name.

Crickets echoed the pain
in her voice as she called
in a mournful refrain.

The moon waxed and waned
over forest and grasslands
as she whispered his name.

Frogs croaked in the rain
to console with their chorus
in a mournful refrain.

The earth and air twain
sadly echoed her woe
as she whispered his name
in a mournful refrain.

Yes, nature - together with all it contains - does share in our moods and emotions. This is exquisite, dear Owl. Love the refrain/rhyme scheme.

Love,
Margherita

Thank you, my dear friend, Margherita, yes, nature does do that.  And thank you for your kind words.  I am glad you enjoyed it.  Smiles.
