Just an Echo Away

For years we have been in the dark,
shut under sight
of the waking dawn's precious light
with the burden of maintaining the confines.

Further off, bursting waves call.
This is how it is
and it's damn hard to make the day shine
with your soul left behind.

We think back to those days of hide and seek
our waving hands and trailing feet.
Time was us running in the wild
leaving trails in the snow by the mile.

Yet, awake in this moment of meet and greet.
We are deep in the precious tonotopic call and response
where inclinations beckon.

Just an echo away
where stars take flight,
paint me in yellow and white.
As all is just an echo away.

Listen for for it,
We are just an echo away.
