The Echo Returns Not


The sea was calm, the shore silent, 
         No echoes resonated there, 
      A walk along the ocean meant
To cleanse the soul and lay it bare;

As shadows lengthened, they strolled on, 
      No feelings stirred, no words spoken, 
         What they had before was now gone, 
What was left was all that's broken;

No memories rang through the shore, 
         No relationship left to care, 
      They drifted apart more and more, 
No love echo returned to share.
