Voice In the Night

a silence falls
with heavy heart
and breath caught short
beneath a moonless sky
while a shadow of an echo
resonates as if to say
i told you so
i told you so

Where do we go in the night and who visits us in dreams? An unexplored world. It’s amazing how the voice adds an unexpected overlay. I hope you are surviving well Line. Lovely to see your poems.

Those moments come to everyone now and then ... I just roll over and go to sleep, and they're gone ... You've expressed such times well here, Line. Great work!
