There's an echo

where once was

laughter,

friends,

familiar,

comfortable.

Now travels across time,

across worlds,

across hearts,

make familiar falter.

Make comfortable

cascade,

into wonder,

uncertainty.

But from wonder comes wisdom,

from the uncertain

comes the certain.

And where familiar may falter

feet are found,

an echo is but

the sound,

the feeling,

the soul of life.

Waiting to fill voids

left by Life's unsteady steps,

make your footfalls firm,

make your laughter heard,

make your smile give warmth.

And the echo will wait no more,

the echo may be your first friend,

but it will not be your last.
