All those voices yet in my mind,

From the years I had left behind.

            Casting echoes in that room -

            Pulsing through the dusty gloom.

The floating dust catching the light,

Shivered with unknown disquiet!

            The echoes gathered to surround.

            They animated the space around.

People I loved, now lost with time,

Speaking thru' the years of grime;

            They said that's where they'll always be -

            In that ancient space that’s inside me;

Every one who had nurtured my past.

Their voices echoing till the very last!
