Echoings

by ephemera   Dec 19, 2016


I lay staring into starlight
as the moon drowns me in her waves
and into my heart an echo of dream seeks the surface.
A love I thought I had forgotten,
I suddenly remember with every minor chord
Are you still there in the darkness?
Have you penned a single word?
I'm here for a moment, please hear me
Before it's time for me to return.

    Wonderfully written, I can feel the hope. That a lover once lost might still think of you too.

    I can see why you posted it in the love section, but it still oozes out a dark/sad vibe - especially with the usage of 'minor chords' in addition to being set during night and the importance of the moon (the narrator being aware of the moon & 'drowning in its waves' indicates insomnia). That said, there's a sliver of hope that cracks through this poem, and it's rather warming. A wonderful write, hope to see more from you!
