Echoes of Ourselves
Your soul is lost and broken
Your past rooted in pain
Darkness built on darkness
An emptiness
That resonates to the core
There is always whispering
The sound of your inner voice
Calls you into yourself
Then out of the night
Suddenly, without warning
A soulful cry from within
Reveals the truth
Mirrors facing each other
Empty frames, ghosts within
Silently dying of grief
Haunted by dreams and misery
From that place without shadows
There are echoes of ourselves
Fleeing out of the darkness
Listen for the answer
Listen carefully to the unspoken
Go not into the abyss
The centre collapses
Take one last look
Unravel the mystery
The fire of the heart
Everywhere there is music
Carried on the waves of our hearts
A triptych of life
Past, present and future
Hidden in our hearts
And there is always time enough
To live
