When the Sun Returns
When the sun returns After days of cloud, Then a celebration Is allowed. Take a nice long walk; Stroll along the beach Or wherever views Are within your reach. Find a blooming tree Or a flower bed. Focus on the day, Not what lies ahead. For when sunshine comes, Even for a while, It’s enough to cause All the world to smile. ...

The echo returns Not for my body But for me to stay alive When I was a kid I died and turned Into a lonely ghoul at night I dance to her songs I dream of a place where I belong The echo returns not Then I have no one to dance along with me What a disaster that would be ...

My mind is calm. My senses are composed. To all kinds of responses, I'm disposed. Why, my soul, that flew like a boomerang Gets stuck within vines that, like coiled snakes, hang Is my soul glad there while I wail in pain? What, for my long life herein, do I gain? Within new blooms, my soul might take shelter. Is my body...

The echo returns not
I am but a rose—trembling in the twilight— my petals folding into the silence of forgotten songs—my voice buried beneath the weight of earth that never cared—for my call. I stretch—reaching for the sun— I no longer believe will return—but the light does not come—never will it come. I cry out—not with...

The bare granite hill, worn down each day, I climb halfway and call your name. A sound rings loud, echoing near, Yet only silence fills my ear. The hot wind halts, the sky stands bare, Yet stillness meets me, cold and rare. The valley knows the sound of stone chippers, Knows your laughter sweet and...

The Echo Returns Not
In the stillness of a twilight hour, Where shadows stretch and silence grows, I call out to the fading light, But the echo returns not, as it goes. Beneath the boughs of ancient trees, Whispers linger on the breeze, Yet every word I cast in air Is swallowed whole by the unseen seas. I stand beside the silent brook, Its waters murmur tales of...

I call out your name from hilltops and lofty mounts. But I get no response, not even an echo return. Once our laughter pulsated through crannies and crevices And along seastrands with the sibilance of waves and the roar of billows. When we paced hand in hand with a single song at heart against time and tide, Every...

Silent is the echo as pride shouts selfishness causing pouts... self-conceit triumphs over jealousy bouts self-glory reigns with discontentment clouts self-reliance wavers upon attacking doubts ...

The Echo Returns Not
The echo returns not, No one seems to hear my heart cry, I’m alone in a devoid state, I wonder if it’s all part of fate. The echo returns not, The songs of redemption that we sing, Come from troubled and despondent souls, We wonder when we will reach our goals. The echo returns not, It’s somewhere interfered in time, We labour from daylight to...

The echo returns not
Alone, I stand till pain returns; The ocean’s waves rise near. Its roaring drowns the world outside, Yet cannot quell my tear. Each day, my pain revives anew~ Afraid, alone, and lost. The street, my home, my only friend, A life devoid of cost. My childhood swept away by winds; Its echoes sound no more. From deep within, regret still burns, An ember at my core. The...

The echo returns not
Hello… HELLO? Nothing. Silence. The absence of sound. Shhh… I command my body to stay still, to obey, to shrink into the silence. Rigid. Unmoved. It might come back— SNAP! Screeches from the winged night guards above slice through the air. A sudden rush of wind...

A farmer ploughs his field, And sows the quality seed, Expecting a bumper yield. He is so ambitious in deed! The minimum support price, He fails to get for his produce, Instead receives many an advice. Finally, found hanging to a noose! His Echo Returns Not!! A bride as a spouse, In mind with many a hope, Enters her in-laws house! With them, she can’t cope! For her...

The Echo Returns Naught - Mar 16
Shouting across the void, I’ve begged for you; I’ve heard my straining voice fall lost to the Abyss between us two; Ignoring my plea, The echo returned not, no answer due. Peering into the gulf—oh! what a view— Reflection there was none, no none to see; Heeding thus firstly your true nihility, The echo unreturning, I turned from you. The...

The echo returns not when light in the darkness is sought the darkness will mute life sounds as it shrouds the life within, but the light will attract viability and motion while the sounds within the light will echo and ring true Light within darkness can signify hope to someone who clings to it and the echo of life...
