Echos

Echos

Silence knocks

at my door

an endless sound

to echo...

echo...

echo...

laughter used to float

down and through

these very walls

yet now....

the silence

reigns and...

echos ...

on a never ending line.

Battlefield

Battlefield

an endless waging battle

that floats across my world

coming to be placed in view

of the world

to see, to hear

the echoed cries 

from the battlefield

the ones left behind....

never forgotten...

never remembered....

Quiet Cries

Quiet Cries

Quiet sounds

to echo near by

tipping the scales

to cause me to fall

trying to climb

back a top

I look, I see,

the watching soul

looking into the soul

one so long

one so gone

causes me to cry aloud.

Alone

Alone

Alone it seems

for my soul to  be,

standing among a crowd

yet all alone 

I do stand.

Looking, watching

from the shadows gaze

I wait and wait.

But for now,

I am all alone.

Tunnels Gaze

Tunnels Gaze

Counting down

in life's grace

I wait inside

as tears I hide

laughter floats

across my gaze

yet inside I cry

laughter, smiles

to jump, to float

our and among the world

yet deep within 

the tunnels gaze

lay my tears 

my sorrow of the years

lay hidden deep away.
