Moments drift.

Moments drift.
Moments drift.
Softly stored in gold and grey
Secured in silence
endlessly,
The moments drift
Upon their way
Without a second
Glance at me,
For I have never
Had the time
To watch the seconds
As they climb,
And I will never
Ever see
The hours
Of eternity.


Waiting on a far off shore
With patient
reflectivity,
The eyes of time
Catch everything
Without the need
For them to be,
Though they have never
Sang a song
Or watched the minutes
Dance along,
They count each second
patiently
Like ripples
On the endless sea.


Between the twilight and the dawn
Secured in deep
Serenity,
The soul of night
Is pacified
In perfect peace
Upon the sea,
As midnight shadows
Slide away
And moments dread
The coming day,
That oh so softly
Tries to rhyme
With wordless words
And timeless time…





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.
