Empty Echoes

Empty Echoes Falling Through The Memories That Are Gone…

Empty as a slow walk home an hour past the last call Empty as when your lover dumps you for reasons you never foresaw Empty as a room filled with memories buried behind walls Empty never feels like anything at all

Echoes rail like thunder that breaks before the dawn Echoes heard in valleys atop mountains to you were drawn Echoes of the grief that never died though they are long gone Echoes never last beyond the final curtain call

Falling fraught with fear though within the marvel of mélange Falling from Grace expecting judgment waves a magic wand Falling from a place of love you once and ever longed Falling never stops you from going on

Through the valley of death, I walked the path alone Through the years and the tears, I held onto the sun Through the clouds a glimmer of lightness overcomes Though never thinking that I can’t do it alone

The branches of the trees spread like dendritic neurons The thoughts in my head but a path of synaptic junctions The spoons I count each day are stolen to dysfunction The never-ending story of the lone Autistic one

Memories not forgotten as I’m always holding on Memories of the unspoken when you said that you would call Memoires of Luna glowing, she sees me through it all Memories never meaning unless true love befalls

That is life as we know it, even when we get it wrong That is silence missing chances to sing another song That we have but one chance to find a place where we belong That it shall never be a place where you are alone

Are you living your dream or does life feel too long? Are you kinder as a person, and have you really grown? Are you giving when you can to the many needy ones? Are never is, unless you truly become

Gone is the childhood innocence when we think we knew it all Gone are the opportunities when we failed to heed the call Gone are the feelings for the ones we thought were our all Gone never returns to see you as you are
