Sotto Poet Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Echoes I Cannot Flee

Written: July 11, 2026, for a contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

                    ****************

Grief stays—slow snowfall seals the silent night,
Time weeps—deep sleep dims every fading light.
Lost love - heart's throb echoes that I can't flee,
Sad years—bleak hymns sink in, griefs I foresee.
Through fading rain, your voice—a soft refrain,
Grief's thief brings back your sweet ache again.
