Chasing Echoes (Sestina Form)



Do you hear someone call?
I look but can not see
Sounds I try to follow
Won't you please come with me?
Listen, can you not hear?
I think it's getting near.

Yes, it is getting near,
I can hear someone call
Listen, so you can hear.
Yet, no one can I see
So, do you believe me?
Hear that sound? Let's follow.

Come on! You can follow
I think we're getting near
Are you coming with me?
Come on I hear the call
Looking, still I can't see
Listen can you still hear?

Well tell me, can you hear?
Come on, lets go follow
This noise so we can see
The voice is getting near.
Well, do you hear that call?
Was it you? It's not me.

Oh no! It was not me
but tell me do you hear?
A voice does really call
Come on lets go follow
See if we can get near
Come on lets just go see.

It won't hurt us to see,
Come on don't you trust me?
I won't let it get near
Just close so we can hear
Well, will you please follow?
So we can find the call.

The call we shall both see
Follow the sound with me
Hear it we can't get near.
