Echoes

Have you ever heard an echo
from deep within your soul
that shows to you the hollowness
that resides within your heart?

Do you ever feel the hunger,
the vast, consuming need,
to have beside you the very warmth
of another's very being?

Have you ever heard a cry
from your sad and lonely heart
that yearns for human companionship
to mute its painful song?

If yes you answer to any of these,
I can but tell you this:

The cry, it stems from living,
the hunger, made by loving,
and the echo, oh! the echo
is but the resonance of your very soul.
