...dying still

Belated needs lie in wait
Are they forever diminished
into dreams-
That rise too late

Excuses are nonexistent
or?
Irrationally ethereal-
Meaning naught if you say them
Lying buried- the same as killed

No!
Otherwise, why should I ache
They are inside me,
dying still.

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.
