Echoes Of The Past Poem by Viola Grey

Echoes Of The Past

Rating: 4.4


Summer-sun kisses cover naked feet,
but fail to warm my soul.
Time floods memories into the walls
of my unforgiving mind.
Where did he go?

This is why I refuse to surrender to forever.
This pain is the only future.
Every day is maddenly the same,
each footstep follows another dull heartbeat
into echoes of the past.

What exquisite images. Naked feet and sun kisses but fail to warm my soul. A wistful creative piece of writing Viola. Karin Anderson

A sad first line sets the scene with potent imagery - Viola this piece really touches the heart - - hoping time will not only 'flood memory's walls' with dark but will bring back light times too....... Big hig and big 10 from Fay....xx
