Voices echo down long hallways where there’s no one left to hear––
each second fading into hour to day to week to year.
Old friends now departed, time has finally run out.
Words have lost their power. Memories have lost their clout.
Mirrors show no images, locks rust and fall away
as the fires of time passing burn to ash another day.
For The Sunday Whirl Wordle #695 the prompt words were: lock fades echo out voices burn show friends time power hear second. Image by Alexy Malakov on Unsplash.

Beautiful use for the prompts. A seamless telling.
