              - Echo ~ the witness who talked too much - quote by poet

                                         a mournful echo
                           sounds swamped my pulsating heart -
                                       do not repeat them
                                   empty room - masonry wall
                                   historic bells from gray peaks

Hmm...deep, beautiful. Often, silence speaks louder than words. The spirit lingers presence, in every step we have taken, what we have created, and where we have paused to ring and listen to our returns. No vibration is ever entirely gone~ continuing on and on to heal or destroy.

A painful echo is haunting, especially in an empty room. Powerful haiku, dear Anne. Love and hugs.

Anne-Lise excellence! Very, very nice. Strangest thing happened, I brought up my knees and tilted my laptop downward towards my thighs and experienced a sensation of nearly falling out the window. It was like 1 second quick, but woooo, that's a first.

Hi, Anne. I don't remember many poets on here, however I remember you. Always excellent. I imagine this is for a contest. Good luck, and thank you for sharing your deep thoughts. After my mom, left, I was left with so many questions and thoughts. A painful way to be trapped. Solitude is not something I like repeating. Love the title Always, Thank you... * Linda

Would be an awful sound to remember. I heard my nephew’s scream in my mind for awhile after hearing him scream in the hospital…was haunting. So glad he is doing well and grown up now.
