Notes About The Poem

image from pinterest.com

Echo

echo lingers softly in quiet air
holding breath of something almost said,
thoughts brushing lightly through my mind,
unfinished, reaching outward~
shimmer of becoming
trembling at the edge,
small and tender,
still forming
quiet
still

Alison A Smith August 21, 2026 at 4:23 AM Beautifully hushed and delicate, Sara. The gradually shortening lines echo the poem’s movement into silence, while “shimmer of becoming” wonderfully captures that fragile, half-formed thought just before it disappears.😸
