"Echoes"

So many days have been counted...

Moments relived...

The seconds examined...

All replayed in a continuous loop...

How many last times can the mind remember?

Its the bittersweet...

The joy for knowing...

And the pain in loss...

Like the changing seasons there comes another month

The deepest hope is still wished

But not even the strongest conviction can return us to what use-to-be

So we visit our treasured memories when we are feeling a little lost

Which for a while...

Was every single day...

The sparks created in random thought is bringing us full circle

A want and need to share life and existence keeps us here

So we remember...

Because reality is the correction made

A lesson we wish so desperately we did not need to learn...

We are embraced by this new understanding

The heart of love has breathed through the wake of devastation

Tears have cleared the path of darkness...

Allowing us to see the remembrance kept within the brightness of light

All that has been echoes through...

We are are here, carrying the legacy of you with us

Even though the laughter is bittersweet

Our heart knows the connection to your everlasting soul

Because these steps forward will forever remain filled with random things that is everything that is you

Even when the rush of everything gets too much

And the tears fall once again...

For the life lived...

And for the one you no longer don't.
