Echoes

"Moments lost in time,

Memories that forever shine.

Whispers of the past,

Echoes that forever last.

In the depths of yesterday,

Shadows dance, and memories sway.

Forgotten laughter, tears, and sighs,

Echoes of a love that's wise.

The wind whispers secrets cold,

Of moments young, and stories told.

The sun sets slow, the stars appear,

A celestial show, beyond fear.

In the silence, I hear your voice,

A gentle breeze, a heartfelt choice.

The rhythm of the heart's deep beat,

A symphony, that echoes sweet.

The memories of you and me,

Forever entwined, wild, and free.

The laughter, tears, the joy, the pain,

A bittersweet refrain.

As time goes by, the moments fade,

But in my heart, they're forever made.

The memories of love, of life, of strife,

A legacy, that cuts like a knife.

Yet, in the darkness, there's a light,

A guiding star, that shines so bright.

Hope eternal, a beacon high,

A promise, that the dawn will rise.

In the stillness, I find my peace,

A calm, that the world's noise can't release.

The moments lost, the memories gained,

A treasure trove, that love has sustained.
