David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

But What About Me

But What About Me
David J Walker

But what about me
The echo said 
Upon its return from
A long journey 
Imprinting the past 
In its words

Yes, 
	It is as I remember
I said  
My back turned to
Its path
Facing the morning sun

But what about me
It repeated in 
Overlapped waves 
Of nostalgia 
Its nuance 
Long
       long gone

It is clear
I said
That I sent you there
Looking for
	Myself
When my hunger
Desired 
Everything and 
	Everyone 
Of that 
	I am done

But what about me
Me
	Me  
  		Me
As the words faded into
The past of a 
Good
	Good night

Charmaine Chircop November 6, 2020 at 6:34 AM You have a great poetic voice..Made me connect to my own overlapped waves of nostalgia recalling my past..When one is about to sleep..one can easily go back in time through thoughts ,desires and dreams.Loved it. David Walker November 6, 2020 at 6:37 AM Charmaine, Wow, thank you for such a lovely compliment. And thanks for listening to it. Isn't it interesting how those dreams and desires have a way of reanimating the past?
