Echoes of Fading Light

Written: June 11, 2025, for contest: Sponsored by: Constance La France Quote: "When you seek love with all your heart, you shall find its echoes in the universe." By Rumi ***************** Echoes graze around the vacuum halls, Whispers that sicken and satanic calls.  Shadows widen where wordless weaves, Leaving grooves that the moon conceives. Each stance is a poltergeist from the past, Unhurriedly disappearing, yet steadfast. Their brief sighs echoed breezes confined, An oasis of peace whispers in the mind. Under the quiet fire of muttered shame, Echoes thunder, yet seem drenched in game. An archon choir built with grief and stone, The topaz sign for Kismet was sung alone. In the quiet, a shred of hope remains, A gentle crack in sorrow's chains. Echoes pave the way for the grip of light, And time holds their peaceful chase sight. Listen carefully—inside the tide, Truth endures, where echoes hide. Allow them to fit away and mend, They're not the tale; they're the trend. Echoes blossom similar to wilting roses, Daisies shattered in season embraces. They float akin ashes, gentle but cruel, Spread further by kismet freezing fuel.

Dear Sotto,your poem is stunning—rich with gothic elegance and ethereal depth. Every stanza feels like it echoes from another realm, brushing past the veil between sorrow and awakening. 'Echoes blossom similar to wilting roses'—what a breathtaking line. A masterful dance between shadow and light. I posted one yesterday that you might like...Hugs
