Echoes of the Past

 




There are so many stories

 

So many souls crying out to me…

 

Words wept on white pages.

Sorrows;

 

bleeding anguish.

 


I hear the echoes of their past

 

Haunting them.

 

Tormented spirits

 

Searching for release.

 


Where was God?

 

How could he have forsaken them?

 


I pray for inspiration.

 

A few words to comfort;

 

Hearts immersed in grief

 


Do not despair:
 
Your words reverberate throughout eternity, 

 Poignant testimony to tortures endured.

 


Let them stand witness to your triumph

 

As you, dear poet,

 


Fly free!

      Thank you for your response. When I wrote this poem it was in response to some of the poems that you and a few others had written so I’m glad to hear that I wasn’t mistaken in the questions that you pondered. Patti

    Wow. That was beautiful. The spacing of all the words keeps your attention, though I don't know why it would stray when reading something like this. This was moving, good luck in the contest.
