In this place of deep silence
I discover an echo
an echo of something lost
lost for so long
that it has been forgotten
lost in the ethers of time
it comes to me gently
upon a carrying wind
a sudden flash of light
a deluge of memories
rushing in like the tide
awakening me from dreams
the magic that it weaves
in the very depths of my soul
unfurling like silken sails
aching to be revealed
