Echoes

Echoes of silence
	blown upon the wind
whispers that unheard
	steals the words away

flying dust touch
	slide across the skin
etching paths of coldness
	yet nothing does remain

heartbeats surge with fullness
	then empty fades away
whispers of the memories
	yet nothing does remain

pale moonlight could
	slip through the darkness 
yet dimmer stars
	might softly glow

dampness lies lightly
	nipping chill bites
warmth not known
	was it ever there

pathway lost led
	did footsteps follow
was there once beginnings
	or only lost ends

stirs now the shadows
	where darker lies
fears there linger
	knowing not why
