Echoes of Absence

In silence, I feel your shadow’s glow.

Empty halls, your voice has fled,
I trace the steps where you once tread.
In hollow rooms and dust-clad frames,
I call your name, it sounds the same.

A ghostly dance, our song plays on,
Yet every note feels faintly wrong.
Though time may mend, and light will grow,
In silence, I feel your shadow’s glow.

    Yes, this is a good way to remember just as long as you do not wallow too long. Good work.
