Security Blankets

An echo is a memory

It resounds from a sound

A fleeting moment in our future

A glimpse of the past

A flickering flame echoing

A memory of life’s sounds

In winter

It creaks as it heats

The house sets fire to my life

A flame dancing

Flickering of winters night memories gone

As the heat fades

Memories of winter bon fire come to pass

We pull blankets of memories from the past

Memories from the settling ash

We smell of fading winter bon fires

An echoing memory of the past

An echo

A ring that rings

An echo that turns, blinks, flashes

All mimicking memories of bon fires past

The echo, the ring, a ring

And I answer

To the echo I lie

Saying calmly- No, I’m all right

With echoes of past winters nights

I close my eyes

Holding my blankets of sooted memories

To each echo I lie

I lie

Saying I’m alright

To the thought of this winter's night

To the echo I lie
Saying calmly- No, I’m all right
With echoes of past winters nights
I close my eyes
Holding my blankets of sooted memories
To each echo I lie
I lie
Saying I’m alright
To the thought of this winter's night

Pain from memories is portrayed clearly, memories are so strong usually, poem succeeded in bringing that message to the reader, it is easier to relate as most of the people have those kind of memories too, loved it

I liked the original version you had sent me, but wow, this is even better. I still hate you went through what you did.

[Heidi Causey]

It's always better poetry when your writing for yourself and not a professor. At lest I have one pieces revision done now thought.

[Brittany Zedalis]

Very true statement. So glad you joined the site. :D

[Heidi Causey]

I blame you… It's all your fault
