Fading whispers

 
 
We spoke each and far away,  
ether-wards our conversation  
drifting in the breeze  ...  ...  ...  
more than random thoughts  
met by chance, perchance to stay  
friends in need are we in deed,  
who has the most of need?  
I do not ask for myself  
this task not mine.  
I am half of two hearing echoes  
echo answers echo, echo, echo  
   ...   ...  ... ... ... ... ... ...  
answer which and how?  
   
I whispered to the hills,  
echo, echo, echo answers echo  
asked for help, vain repetition  
half afraid, apologetic,  
no need beside Emmaus road  
I lay not wounded as I thought.  
promises believed a promise kept,  
echo answering echo echo echo  
fading whispers to the hills.
