At the edge of an echo

 ~

I heard a song at the edge of an echo,

lyrics of love flowing soft on the breeze

Harmonies call as I walk past a shadow,

formed on the ground neath the apricot trees

 

Melodies touching my lonely heart beating,

comforting tenderly thoughts come to bare

Hopelessly lost in the music repeating,

waiting a chorus of dreams I can share

 

Symphonies played on a mountaintop vista,

wafting euphoric on gossamer wing

I heard a song at the edge of an echo,

won’t you come join me, together we’ll sing

Really enjoyed this. Reminds me of some of my earlier work. Flowed so well. Rhyme & Rhythm

Thank you so very much Rachel

This one is quite the bittersweet tale of wanting that special someone to share with, to grow with, to experience one's life journey with. At least that's what it spoke to me.

Well done, you.

[willweb]

Thanks so very much. I am happy you liked it.

[Lorry]

Well, I would Will, but seeing as how some consider my being understood when talking a bit of a struggle, let alone singing, which has been described as being as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit, would it be okay if I just hum quietly, to hide the fact that even humming I do off key. Maybe I should just stick to mouthing the words silently, so everyone else can enjoy your most excellent words and melody 😊

Thanks so much my friend. You can sing, hum, mouth the words or play air guitar, it matter not to me as long as you remain you but remember...when farting in a space suit...exhale only!!!

[Robert Trakofler]

The harmony between echos, together in time
are composed by friendships written sublime.
We call to each other, both sister and brother ~
poets who are conductors of love and rhyme.

I think there is a song at the edge of an echo….it mimics the echo, ina melodious way… especially in a mountaintop, it can be beast far away…this a charming piece on symphonic tones that one can hear in the silence of one’s surroundings….and you make this music come to life in this deliciously vivid and colorful poem.
Warmly, B.

I heard a song at the end of an echo

Beautiful in every way will. Your stanzas, laden with feeling, superb imagery and your lines flow like a lyrical stream in spring. Romantic poetry at its best.

Thanks so much Chris. You always leave such nice comments for me to find.

What wonderfully musical yet subtle meter, willweb. Each stanzac conjurs a scene, a mood, a gentle need.. and all from the height of an echo. Can there be anything better, more magical?

[willweb]

Maybe one or two things but, not many. : ) Thank you Emma, care to sing along today?

[emmajoygreen]

I sing like a frozen frog on er.. um .. latte!

[John the Baptist]

Somewhere there has to be a singer or songwriter who can set your splendid love poems to the right music. Tony Bennett's gone now, but don't give up hope.

[willweb]

Yes, I saw that, sad, he was great. Thanks John, maybe someday I will put some of these to music.
