en el silencio,
tu eco me lleva y eleva.

Echo of Your Voice
Your voice floats,
in a gentle echo,
silk that envelops

in the light breeze,
awake in a dream
where your laughter dares.
Empty space,
your absence moves me,
in the silence,
your echo carries and lifts me.

my empty heart,
under a starless sky.
