Cars rush by outside
A pint in hand, oak beams glow
The past is so near
Thoughts begin to flow
Shaken from uncertainty
Whispered touch of lips
Push play, music starts
Echo emotions within
Time is Motionless
Angry voices raised
Words said before thoughts appear
Echoes of the past
Thoughts wander in fright
Shadows move into the light
Darkness captures all
Decisions are made
Without thought or care for you
Light flickers and dims
Twilight closing in
June is here, summer is here
Where are the long nights?
Echoes in my mind
Mending broken memories
Pain and joy unite
Wind rustles the leaves
Creaking limbs moan in protest
Saw and axe solves all
Outside all is still
In my head dark clouds converge
Could it be a dream?
Awake in the night
Searching for thoughts that comfort
Dreams will never rest
The dust devils dance
Grey rock bakes in noonday sun
Look on in wonder
Footsteps on the stairs
Sound echoes through empty halls
Thunder of silence
The curve of your neck
The gentle tone of your voice
Haunts me forever
Night has awoken
Darkness is still and silent
The howling wolf knows
Thoughts turn to 6 June
Echoes of the day remain
Their currents run deep
Noonday sun shines bright
Shadows short, yearning to stretch
To disappear in the night
Tears of joy run free
The light of dreams in your eyes
Hope, like rain cleanses
Light through frosted glass
Truth blurred, leaving doubt behind
Open and be free
