4. Echoes in the Dark
The night is deep, the world so still,
A silence sharp and wide,
Where shadows stretch like whispered ghosts,
And dreams in silence hide.
I walk a path with fleeting steps,
The ground unknown, unseen,
Yet faintly in the dark, I hear
The echoes of where I’ve been.
The voices rise, then fade away,
A soft and fleeting song,
Reminders of the ties I’ve lost,
And all I’ve searched for long.
Each echo holds a memory’s weight,
A tether to my past,
Yet through the dark, I yearn for more—
A light that’s meant to last.
The quiet hums its somber tune,
A hymn of space and time,
But even here, in shadowed depths,
A spark begins to climb.
For echoes can’t replace the glow
Of hearts that truly see,
And in the dark, I seek a voice
That answers back to me.
