Eons of Echoes

same love song over many lifetimes

"Eons of Echoes"


My voice startled the dinosaurs.
My cries shook ancient moons.
My pleas echoed off evolving canyon walls,
         until all words strangled on my lack of breath
         and your lack of acknowledgement.
Sentences disconnected and crashed to the canyon floor.

My new found silence assumed a sweeter spirit.
No more teeming announcements to the universe
         proclaiming my life, love, and love of life.
Mere mute messages made a pivot in mid-air,
         and stared back at me speechless.

Should soft apparitions in light appear
         rearranging the night's darkest agenda,
         look for me.
Should you see a trembling moon
         shrouded in clouds moved by determined gusty winds,
         sing to me.
Should you feel warm whispers on your cheek,
         know it is me.

Eons of echoes;
         my eternal love notes to you.
