Echoes Poem by Thomas Vaughan Jones

Echoes

Rating: 5.0


There's a house on Windy Corner
at the top of Breezy Hill,
standing cold, alone and empty
in the grasp of Winter's chill

Once the rafters rang with laughter,
fun and music filled the air.
Sunshine poured through every window.
Love lived in profusion there.

Now it houses only phantoms,
ghostly voices whisper low.
Time, the ultimate assassin
plied his blade long years ago.

As I brush aside the cobwebs
in each dusty room it seems,
once again I hold my memories.
Broken echoes of my dreams.
