Echoes of Childhood – A Poem

Echoes of Childhood
by Melissa Peeler

Childhood echoes unceasingly within the caverns of Adulthood.
Words: Spoken by us. Spoken to us.
Actions: Taken by us. Done to us.
Thoughts: Bidden by us. Thrust upon us.

All continually reverberate through our Being.
Repeatedly rebounding among the multitude
 of life experiences and memories.
Stalagmitic experiences rising from below.
Stalactitic memories descending from above.
Often uniting and clinging together as one singular formation.

Echoes refusing to be silenced.
Vibrating, Vibrating, Vibrating. . . .
Rumbling, Rumbling, Rumbling. . . .
Resonating, Resonating, Resonating. . . .

Melissa Peeler
Composed: September 2022
