An echo from yesterday

A blink of a second,

An ocean of memories,

An echo of laughter,

Happy faces, frozen in time.

Inane chatter, idle merriment,

Shadows in mischief,

Pillars in grief,

Moments consumed in time.

In a blink of a second,

Everything shrinks into the bygone

Now mere vestiges remain,

Of what once used to be...
