What Once Was Heard by Mrs. KT
Write A Rictameter Poem writing prompt entry
To Open One's Heart Again

Echoes
Of your laughter 
Serenade the stillness 
Throughout these rooms where love once dwelled.
Treasured memories softly make their way 
As I close each door of sadness
Bidding sweet forgiveness
To welcome all
Echoes
