Following Echoes Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Listening to interior reverberations, hearing
their cries of loneliness as they echo into my
mind.

Noting the tones that keep repeating themselves,
all ending and beginning with minor chords in
music.

Following echoes of their rhythms through corridors
of intellect, searching for exits that will lead them
into rooms where peace can fill me for a while.

Charging energy and strength for periods of time, so
I can keep on living without you, my dear, something
that I'd really prefer not to do.
