Fractured Echoes

Whispers and Echoes in the Quiet Moments

By Lambert Godgift Published about a year ago 2 min read
Whispers and Echoes in the Quiet Moments

In the beginning, the silence is a murmur in the corner of the mind a lost echo waiting to be found. Coffee steams, morning fog curling around the edges of the window, rain tap-tapping its familiar rhythm, and somewhere in between, the whisper of yesterday’s dreams

Stumbling over half-remembered words, chasing fleeting thoughts, like a child’s shadow skittering on the sidewalk, joy and sorrow dancing in the puddles, rippling, splashing what was it, a promise, a secret? A hand on a heart, the pulse quickening, remembering the scent of rain on warm earth, first love in the autumn leaves

The clock ticks, but time, time is a liar, slipping through the cracks of yesterday’s regrets, tomorrow’s promises, or was it? My mind is a labyrinth, twisted corridors of half-formed sentences and dreams deferred, each turn a whisper, each whisper a ghost, laughter rising like mist, sadness sinking like stones

Breathe in, breathe out, the rhythm of a life lived in fragments, moments scattered like breadcrumbs on the path of an endless journey. The taste of bittersweet moments, like chocolate melting on the tongue, bittersweet and electric, a touch that lingers, a glance that burns

Old songs play on repeat, melodies that curl around the heart, stretching thin like spider silk, connecting memories to dreams, dreams to reality. Shadows dance on the walls, flickering from the fire’s light, the warmth of old blankets, the comfort of yesterday’s embrace

Whispers of a conversation, a laugh shared, echoes of a promise made in the quiet hours between dusk and dawn. Can you hear it? The murmur of what might have been, the hum of what is, and the pulse of what could be

Lost in the folds of the mind, tangled threads of hope and despair, joy and sorrow, all woven together in a tapestry of unspoken words and hidden fears. The heart oh, the heart it beats to the rhythm of the universe, expanding, contracting, a pulse that binds us all

Memories surface, like bubbles in a deep, dark sea, rising to the surface, bursting in a rush of emotion, each one a story, each one a piece of the puzzle, a fragment of who we are, who we were, who we will become

In the end, it’s all fragments and echoes, fleeting moments of clarity amidst the chaos, the beauty of imperfection, the raw, unfiltered truth of the mind in motion. A dance of thoughts and feelings, a mosaic of dreams and reality, all coming together in a symphony of life’s beautiful disarray.

And as the rain slows, the echoes fade, leaving behind a stillness, a calm, a moment of reflection in the heart’s quiet sanctuary.
