Silent Echoes

by Rich Brewer

Silent echoes

Haunting, teasing the light dust

Transparent and illuminating

The dark parts of your soul's lust

 

Squirming to hide

Robust and on stride

The echoes surround you

The full version, not the 'abridged' you

 

Caring is to linger amongst the light

Present and moving, not to right

It's apparentness if bathed in fright

An escape to nowhere in the night
