In love with the lines

I love

living in the leaves

letters lie,

revealing the lines

leaving a lingering tale

of time,

in between many tales

with my ears on them

sometimes through the wind,

at times with my hand

I listen

to horrors, wonders

I see the world as Echo*

lashed for love

I read and write,

what others wrote and read

in my mind

on the same inky space,

I let the leaves be

just being with them

I love

The poem is in reversible style*

Note:

1. Echo* - In Greek mythology, Echo (/'?ko?/; Greek: ?χ?, Ekho, "echo", from ?χος (echos), "sound") was an Oread who resided on Mount Cithaeron. Zeus loved consorting with beautiful nymphs and often visited them on Earth. Eventually, Zeus's wife, Hera, became suspicious, and came from Mt. Olympus in an attempt to catch Zeus with the nymphs. Echo, by trying to protect Zeus, endured Hera's wrath, and Hera made her only able to speak the last few words spoken to her. So when Echo met Narcissus and fell in love with him, she was unable to tell him how she felt and was forced to watch him as he fell in love with himself. (Source:Wikipedia)

2. Reversible style - Poems written in this style can also be read upwards. The idea behind the style is to let the poem rise above (a leap in existential term), even in its physical form.
