Where Things Linger

for those who understand the word

Corners hold us, quietly

Edges brushing where thoughts return

A word, a glance, a spark

We trace them back

Again and again

Moments drift into shadows

Lean into light

Pour into laughter

From lines we leave

For no one but each other

Stay a while

Or vanish, only to return

I’ll be here

Where things linger

Waiting,

 

For the next

Echo

to find its way back

Such a wonderful flow to this one and I love the contrast between "stay awhile" and "vanish, only to return.. Enjoyable read for sure. ~Jim

I like this a whole lot .. and might well be back .. whatever the case, I can be found loitering not too far away .. impressive ink regardless .. Neville 😎👍

[Brandon Houser]

Echoes and lingering. 2 words alone elevate this to a dreamlike intensity. Well done!

[Curly Grace]

Thank you, Brandon. I’m glad those two words landed the way they were meant to... sometimes the smallest echoes carry the most.
