Lost Echo

after a tiring day
when sun descends
and the darkness swallows
the light of the day
i come to this place by the water
toss pebbles and watch
round ripple becomes larger
the valleys and mountains
stand still and stare
i gaze and look around
anticipating your presence here
you are always like a wild flower
a scent full of beauty and love
i come here often
to hear the lost echo
torments of life and living
i spill thru my eyes
and the green bushes
accepted the dew from sore
they blossom and bring colors
from tears i shed in despair
my loneliness and emptiness
sadly and silently they watch
the prairie and the habitants
frightened to console my grief
once they have witnessed
the measure of my love and joy
when you were in love too
singing love song in harmony
every living being on face of earth
adored the fate of your blushes
now you left to experience new horizon
my love is tormented
light of hope diminished
like city of passions
burnt down to ashes
spirit separated from the beauty
the past and future happiness
the heart desire none
i come here with grief and emptiness
to drink from cup of sorrows
right or wrong, it is destined
the journey of love
  ended so soon
i live in love of your memories
And i come here often
  to hear the lost echo
