"Echoed Silence"

'Echoed Silence' ' Echoed Silence ' Old thoughts echoing through my mind, Of a far away place, in a long ago time. Voices that once spoke...are no longer heard. Favorite memories...only unspoken words. Emptiness encloses...then completely surrounds; Locking the doors to any movement or sound. Breath...that sounded 'life' into the ear, If breathing is gone...how can there be life here? Feeling and touching...than silent cries. Heart's broken...no more words of good-bye. Searching and seeking...for a familiar face, That the sound of silence...has now replaced. Setting here longing...to just hear your voice, Why is death...Gods final choice ? Still loving and missing all of you, I will see you when I join you in Heaven.                     Valentine

I had to move around a lot during my previous career. I'm afraid I did a very bad job of keeping in touch with people. From time to time now I'll google a name and very often I find out they've died. It's a strange feeling. They weren't loved one that I lost, but friends who might have been much closer friends if only I had kept in touch. Thank you for your poem.

Valentine, the pain is felt through your words as sadness finds us reading and sorrow takes us by the hand. Very nicely done but oh so sad.
