Ah, thus quoth the wizened sage, holding up a shriveled finger to the more youthful listener who was still too immature to fully grasp what was being said, yet caught the import. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a lingering poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

\'Tis True. We are but dust. Here one minute, floating off in the breeze the next. What lingers on? What remains. While people who knew us are alive, memories. Regardless, our echoes linger on, bouncing from place to place until they are heard no more. Profoundly powerful and true. Well done on this, friend! 🌹👏

Sorry it took me all day to get to read this. Been one of those days. Wow, friend, this is brilliant and I really mean that. This is one of my faves of yours and you have many of those, lol! Your poem is a poignant exploration of the human need for wholeness and the emotional turmoil of feeling incomplete. It left me with a sense of hope, as Echo continues its search for reunification with its shadow. A most unique retelling of a Greek mountain nymph and her deep loss. Well done on this! 🌹👏 Bravo!

Veritably haunting with exceptional imagery and a clinging poignancy which refuses to be silenced, rendered in disarming simplicity. Beautiful and resonating. Thank you for sharing.

Entertaining and delightful, yet painfully familiar. I once put out and APB for my shadow. One hopes for the sweet reunion of self and shadow. Thanks for sharing.

Loved the use of nouns and adjectives as entities. A most poetic use of language in metaphor itself creating a metaverse.

Beautifully expressed arqios. Poetry has certainly been a companion to me in good times and dark. Introduced to it by my paternal grandfather as a youngster, he certainly gave me a valuable gift there. A lifetime gift. A lovely write.

I loved this. I think your poem captures something fascinating about power in society. Far from being clear or evident, the systems that shape our lives are often foggy and covered by mist. It reminds me a bit of Foucault\'s \'Discipline and Punish\'.\"
