Amid The Echo of Doves

Summary:
when something unexpected is heard mid the anticipated silence, it can have a much bigger impact than a lions roar directly behind you .. yet still leave you feeling frightened, vulnerable and alone ..

Amid The Echo of Doves

Listen

to the echo

of doves

calling

from high

rafters

in these

old derelict

buildings

where I now

reside ..

Their

haunting

song,

a gentle

hymn ..

Bouncing

loud

off the walls

below

both hollow

but yet

still proud ..

It feels

like a trick

of time

just passing

me by ..

Yes, listen

by all means,

but don’t

you dare feel

obliged to

linger

anywhere

here all

on your own ..

With just

the ghost of

me by your side ..

    1. This hits like an abandoned chapel breathing on its own. The spacing slows the reader down just enough to feel the echo, the hollow pride, the loneliness clinging to the walls. That last turn—the ghost of me by your side—is quietly devastating. You let atmosphere do the heavy lifting, and it works.

    2. Haunting but also a soothing demeanor somehow. The ending caught me off guard obviously. It makes the read have a different angle, reading back. It’s a well done piece, Neville.

    3. Strange how awareness changes and we see or feel things differently from one time to another, sometimes the message is cloud and clear, sometimes it’s gentle and blurry, but all of them are messages that we are not alone. I feel sadness and speration, yet I also feel how the speaker got and felt the message, found comfort within it and just wanted to get it through and sing it into words 🤍
