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 is bathed in fright
An escape to nowhere in the night
Go now as you must
Like the beauty of an echo

Hi Rich,
What great lines you wrote here. I particularly like the line: "The full version, not the 'abridged' you"!!! This is a compelling line because it speaks to the tension between one’s true self and the version they present to the world. Marvellous.
Regards,
Rolph
