an echo of my soul

a threeway collaboration with ~Papaya~ and Jon Roggie

  etched 

on the parchment of my past,

are the words

I cannot erase ... 

chronicles 

           of each moment

that designed who I am;

shaping my story

               and on the pages       

the empty spaces             

  are smoothed out
with time

leaving only footprints  --

                stories half-remembered

an echo
of my soul

in moments fleeting,

regrets never forgotten --

another bit
of writing ...

etched 

on the parchment of the past,

my ink remains, 

                    though paper

is dust.

It was an honour writing with the two of you -- we have a great mind meld here I think. I love the way it turned out. Check out http://www.writerscafe.org/AnaPapaya and http://www.writerscafe.org/jtrogue

I like the way it flows. By the way, KL was our editor.
