Echoes In The Wind

The echoing wind

Dances among the old pine trees,

Swirling and twirling

Alive with old memories.

Memories of the past

Echo around,

Encompassing the mind

With their silent sound.

The forgotten kiss

From a man with a passionate eye,

Whose touch left one

With a breathless sigh.

The tears and laughter

From a boy too soon a man,

His childhood left further behind

With each passing of the clock’s ticking hand.

Echoes in the wind,

Memories from yesteryear,

Can cause one’s eye

To weep a tear.

This day, someday,

Will be just a memory too,

An echo in the wind,

As fleeting as the early morning dew.
