What Now?

By Andrew R. Duckworth

The halls are emptying
But an echo still hums,
Leftovers from past
Voices that laughed,
Joked, and jeered.
Those voices remain,
Yet in another domain,
One that will expand
Their destiny-
A life that is great.
And now, I’m left to wait
For new voices issuing forth.

For each new voice,
I hope I make a difference.
