Echoes of Departure

A Chronicle of Childhood Farewell

By Lylonie BennettPublished 3 years ago β€’ 1 min read

In childhood halls, where memories do cling,

Familiar echoes of laughter and play.

A whispered breeze heralds the journey's swing.

π“Šπ“‹Όπ“Šπ“‹Όπ“Š

Boxes packed, a tapestry takes wing,

Leaving behind the comforting array.

In childhood halls, where memories do cling

π“Šπ“‹Όπ“Šπ“‹Όπ“Š

Walls once painted with dreams that would spring,

Now stand silent, as if in disarray.

A whispered breeze heralds the journey's swing.

π“Šπ“‹Όπ“Šπ“‹Όπ“Š

Glimpses of youth in each room take a fling,

A symphony of echoes in disarray.

In childhood halls, where memories do cling.

π“Šπ“‹Όπ“Šπ“‹Όπ“Š

The front porch where innocence would sing,

Now bears the weight of a farewell sway.

A whispered breeze heralds the journey's swing.

π“Šπ“‹Όπ“Šπ“‹Όπ“Š

Leaving behind the place where heartstrings cling,

Yet, in departure, a new dawn may gray.

In childhood halls, where memories do cling,

A whispered breeze heralds the journey's swing.
