Echo by Tracy Glynn, Graduate of Employment Preparation Programme 9
There are many echoes in my mind
Echoes of times far away
Snapshots of times past and in the here and now…
They say a picture can say a thousand words
It’s true…
So can a lingering haunting melody
Floating on the breeze of a lazy summer’s day.
Bringing back the echoes in my mind…
The echo of passing time you see
Is always on my mind…
The midday chiming of the antiquated church clock
Passing time
Passing time
Minutes rolling by as crescendoing crashing
Waves in your mind
That deja vu echo
Passing time
Passing time
The sneering serpentine echo
Whispering in my ear…
The chandelier diamondesque
Laughter of my sister
Once upon a time
The echo of time you see
Is always on my mind…
A soft whispering wish on the dulcet breeze…
Passing my way it lingers awhile
I ask “Are you mine?”
The wandering echo of a wish lullabyed
“Yes follow me.”
