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                                                                                              .

Someone I used to know
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                                                                                              .
