A voice gently called out
whispering loudly
from the rafters of silence,
the way canyon walls softly echo
in a warm southern breeze
It seemed as if it were a dream
but eyes wondered wide open
Reaching out for the lingering
empty air that breathes my name
Touching a wafting emptiness
rippling through the hollow void,
to buoyantly catch sight of
an oasis in another distant realm
Swept away by a seething waterfall,
the heart won’t let go ―
Seized by the calling voice
that spates the broken intone
never fathoming
distantness
was so far away
An abiding voice hovers ―
a paling memory beholds a glow
of someone I used to know
by heart

A voice gently called out
whispering loudly
from the rafters of silence,
the way canyon walls softly echo
in a warm southern breeze
It seemed as if it were a dream
but eyes wondered wide open
Reaching out for the lingering
empty air that breathes my name
Touching a wafting emptiness
rippling through the hollow void,
to buoyantly catch sight of
an oasis in another distant realm
Swept away by a seething waterfall,
the heart won’t let go ―
Seized by the calling voice
that spates the broken intone
never fathoming
distantness
was so far away
An abiding voice hovers ―
a paling memory beholds a glow
of someone I used to know
