An Echo From The Past Poem by Tex T Sarnie

To my mind's state of tranquillity
came an echo from the past.
A memory as real as when first made
and apparently one destined to last.

Whilst feeling elated by the memory,
tears filled my saddened eyes.
I was overwhelmed by a sudden emptiness
and just broke down and cried.

For much longer than I thought, the echo
discovered a missing part of me.
It brought back someone special to my life
who regrettably ceases to be.

Nevertheless, I cherished this reminiscence
and the opportunity to relive it again.
With it came masses of happy memories,
but also, past heartaches, tears, and pain.
