Now you are gone I search for signals

You have dropped for me to find

In the people you encountered

Written carefully where you walked


Finding footsteps you had taken

Searching for signs left behind

Silent warnings you had  given

Remembering  how we always talked


Of things that happen in the future

Tragedies that can appear

Never thinking they  could shatter

All the things that we hold dear


Now I only have the empty  echoes

Rolling through the countryside

Words you called  come back to me

As I  try so hard to hear.

Nice

Bit short but I think I got the point. Certainly the most effective evocation amongst the poet's around you on the site as far as I can discern. Well done!
interesting

I like the idea behind this poem, it's very unique. The last stanza I would say is definitely the most effective- I find the others confusing and the ideas seem to lack cohesion- perhaps you could make them clearer? It's a great idea though, good work :)

Thanks for your input, I think there were two different poems there, one was coincidence and the other memories, quite strange really had not really spent the time re reading it too easy to post it here!! (will add the other one later)
Sadness

I'm not sure why but I sensed great pain and sadness in this poem. A feeling that something amazing suddenly broke and you are tracing back trying to capture the beautiful moments again. 
 
Very beautiful...thank you very much for this. 
 
Best wishes
