The Pulse Of The Ages


It's the blush of time in a sunset,
the dance of roses in a glance.
It's the persimmon fire on a hill,
the meteors within a man.
It's the comets of illusion,
the jazz of rain.
It's the poetry of seagulls,
the chant of the chains.
It's the new bride glimpsed in a snowstorm,
the perfume of summer dusk.
It's the peeling of gypsy paint
on walls too shaky to touch.
It's the twisting of the moonbeams,
the flavors of the dew.
It's the pulse of the ages
that I offer now to you.








OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
