on these

On these ............... On these walls Your name is written, Bold as day It stares at me My path to you Spreads open Like the pearly gates. On these bones Your voice echoes, I heard them say "Keep us safe" What a command I must obey. On these streets My soul journeys, Wider than hell's road I see the misfortunes Steer me clear From the path of death Keep me Lest I become fouled. On these trees Our love is inscribed, We stand here As testaments to our souls Evergreen were we I sought love And you answered. On these words You became a muse, The furies are awake Avenge us dear mother Let our love stand I keep a memory A memory of us On these echoes On these walls On everything else..... © Adiela Michael
