Echoes

I call out your name
My voice carrying my heart
Nothing but echoes...
                              echoes....
                                           echoes...

Thanks, Sara. I did go back to it and read the ending. Very powerful. I live in those countries where people die everyday. Where will it all end? The sprinkler metaphor was very deep. Very good write. Thanks for the visit.

very creative, Eileen. Sometimes echoes are a not so welcome reminder. Very well written and sad, my friend.... Robert.

Life has joy and sorrow...How can we understand and appreciate joy, without tasting of the sorrow. Thank you for your kind words.

Some people write letters in the sand, others send echoes....but there is always the hope that the message goes through! Very lovely senryu, Eileen. // paul

Thanks ever so much, Paul. Glad to have you visit. Some messages are just not meant to go through....I guess.

I think he has laryngitis! No duets, I'm afraid.

Where do the echoes end, on whose heart will they be returned from. I actually did this today for a woman I know. Your poem has the echo of love Eileen...J.A.B.

Justin...I was wondering where you were. I was just going to pass by and leave a note! Here you are. Glad to see you again. I hope that the woman responds to you, Justin. You are a lovely person...very deserving.
