Shadows Echo

Shadows Echo A lonely sound it makes, the muffled echoes of a shadow lingering in moonlight, weeping in silence, for things that might have been. Yet the echoes grow louder as the shadows deepen and caress the empty places where your heart used to live in my soul, for the bitter taste of a last kiss still lingers on broken promises My love withers and dies in the shadow of your love as a blossom, forgotten and alone, fades in fall shivering from the touch of frost in eyes that once caressed with the warmth of the sun and as the shadows or'take the night the echo reverberates through the shadowy recesses of my mind almost deafening in the silence as once again, my eyes release the pain, that drips into the never ending pool of sorrow that forever echoes the sadness of the waiting shadows.

The moon is full right now, and just last night I saw the "shadows" you describe so well in this beatiful poem. Another great poem, Trudy! Love, Carolyn

This is absolutely beautifully, Trudy. "Yet the echoes.....in my soul" is a brilliant line but all is great. The emotions are deep and very moving. Great job! Love, Robin
