An Echo Poem by Phil Soar

A distant echo casts a sound across the mountain slopes
Moving with amazing speed, and raising all my hopes
A sound so rich and bass like, from among the rocks and snow
It echoes across the airwaves, and it sets my mind aglow

Reverberates around the space, across the many valleys
Exhilarating as it goes, and builds more as it carries
The waves are more than substance, moving me to tears
And passing overhead it seems to take a million years

That sound has such impact, that I fall and bow my head
Enchanting echoes passing by, and once arrived, have fled
And lost within a moment, the silence then is stunning
A sound that made a difference, that left my heartbeat running
