ECHOES (© John MacLean 2016)
When the time is right
In weeks mabe years
Come up to this room
There may be answers here
All those cards you sent me
Are tacked up on the wall
Don’t you know I saved them
Almost most every one…
Among these books topped with dust
Deep in the stack
Waits for you a special one
You won’t need to ask…

Take a seat, look around
Reach out, take in hand
Pieces that might help you
Better understand…

When one you love leaves you bitter and in pain
And you never took the chance to make them explain
No one beside you will answers be found
In this room of echoes…made without a sound…

This box of Spanish leather
So safely tucked away
With photos that tell stories
In the light of day
That old guitar still holds songs
Those sung, those not yet
Holds one all about you
And all about regret…
All thses these and more for you
Some will catch your eye
Will they bring you comfort?
Let your heart decide…

Take a seat, look around
Reach out, take in hand
Pieces that might help you
Better understand…
In this room of echoes
