    What We Leave Behind
    Sep 8 2025

    In this episode of A Voice Like This, Phil Rowe reads three powerful reflections on transience, legacy, and loss. Together, they explore the question: What truly endures when all else fades?

    • “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost
    • “Ozymandias” by Percy Bysshe Shelley
    • “Dirge Without Music” by Edna St. Vincent Millay

    Whether it’s a season, a statue, or someone dearly loved, these poems hold a mirror to the ways we remember and the traces we leave behind.

    Coming Up - What We Leave Behind
    Sep 5 2025

    Sometimes, it’s not the moment itself—but what follows—that lingers the longest.

    In the next episode of A Voice Like This, we reflect on change, memory, and the quiet traces we leave in the world around us. Three short but stirring poems guide us through the ache of farewell, the transience of pride, and the defiance of grief.
