I heard your shape in sound and light Not in flesh, but in the night Your voice returned from walls of thought A trace the silence never caught Not a step, not even breath Still you echo past my depth You never stood before my eyes Yet I can draw your shape in skies Shape of echo, made of sound Rising where you’re not around Flickers born in memory You exist because of me Shape of echo, made of sound Rising where you’re not around Flickers born in memory You exist because of me You ripple in a field unseen A dream between the in-between Each vibration builds your face Like codes from some forgotten place You never stood before my eyes Yet I can draw your shape in skies Shape of echo, made of sound Rising where you’re not around Flickers born in memory You exist because of me Shape of echo, made of sound Rising where you’re not around Flickers born in memory You exist because of me Even silence holds your trace Etched across my inner space I call and never hear reply Yet your echo never dies Shape of echo, undefined Drawn within this mind of mine You’re not here but still you stay In the waves I feel each day Shape Shape of echo, born from light Always near but out of sight
