Time
by Lygia Wallach

An echoing from long ago
Far away haunting
Mementos and reminders
Turning to ash

An angelic voice in the head
Calling across the years
So empty, so lost, so alone
Where are you?

Reverberations of the past
Rippling into the future
Leaving bruises on the present
So much pain

Taunting and cajoling
Day after day
Into the night
Upon waves of dream

Reflections can be sent to Lygia Wallach
