Notes About The Poem
Date written: 10/01/2016
Echo Chasing
You cling to the wilderness
and plains like a shy ghost
Where could you possibly be?
Are you near or far?
I can hear you, faintly,
like beads of water
slowly dripping out of a faucet,
but can never quite reach you.
Why so elusive? Must you always
play hide and seek?
Or could you be somewhere
in nature, trapped?
I've actively searched for you
in empty rooms
And out in fields
I sometimes walk among.
Yesterday, I came
repeatedly clapping my hands,
And you clapped back
to me each time.
Today, I did the same;
thunderous silence!
Are you buried in the dirt
unable to make a sound?
I've tenaciously tracked you
through back countries
choked with fog, only to end up
in the middle of nowhere.
Has anyone ever found you
out there in the wild?
Maybe, just maybe, you're so lost
you'll never be found.
