Echoing Images
In the perfect stillness
of this magical cave
our voices echo in semi darkness
throwing back the sound we gave
The light reflecting imagery
of perfect visual symmetry
We drift on mirrored pool
in silence but for our breath
The air heavy, dank and cool
Humidity smelling of death
Shivering with a feeling of fear
Wondering where to go from here

Merril is hosting at D'Verse Poets tonight
and has prompted us with 'Echo'
Thank you so much! 🙂
Tense, and beautifully written
There is magic in such a cave… love it.
Thank you Bjorn! I appreciate it ☺️
This really puts me in the poet’s shoes for sure. It’s definitely relatable too since none of us can be certain about where we are headed. Great work!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. 🙂💕
Your poem evokes the feeling death is a stillness heavy with uncertainty…and ethereal light.
Yes! I was wrestling with the serenity and calmness of the place and then felt trapped and anxious 😟
This is lovely. It seems like one with layered (or perhaps echoing) meanings. Thank you!
Thank you so much a Merril. I appreciate it very much 😊
You’re welcome! 🙂

of perfect visual symmetry”

Loved this line…
The light reflecting imagery
of perfect visual symmetry
Life seems to be a series of reflections and echos!
