Echoes
Echoes from the desertland
Through sands of time
Shadows of footprints
Lost in blizzards of yesteryear
Play of stratified rainbow
Blurred into shades of grey
Epiphany of my tremulous rose
Wilted under blazing sun
The days of youthful glory
Mere remnants of a wrinkled tale
Inane whisper uttered into night
Greeted by pervading silence..
Posted for One Single Impression.

“The days of youthful glory
Mere remnants of a wrinkled tale”
Echoes remain.
Beautiful.

‘Everything passes’…. always sad. But beautifully told.

Brilliant creation. Thanks for sharing.

Hi DarkLord…
Thanks for dropping by my place…
This is lovely penned verses and equally poignant!
You have covered so many aspects of one’s existence, the living and non-living intertwined…
Thumbs up on your take!

Enjoyed reading. Like Harshad says, it leaves you with a lingering sadness

To me, the silence seems comforting somehow… As if no matter what is uttered, the silence welcomes and holds it all. Thanks for such a lovely Sunday night read…

I like it, D.L! Yes, those old echoes will dampen and eventually become undetectable, by the human soul. But they will be replaced by echoes of more recent activities. Life goes on.
LIG.

Hi D.L. ~~ HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thank you for peeking in on me. I am hoping you scrolled down for my OSI of this week. I think my picture was misleading but I left it on anyway.
This week is my suggested prompt. I wanted ‘calm’ but it is posted as ‘calmed.’ I would like to see you write for this as you always have a very good, interesting, point of view on the prompts. So far today I’m fairly well blanked out on it myself.

truth will be told and shadows will disappear and until then, until then we will be greeted by pervading silence
Excellent LTD
