Your Name.

Your Name


I see your form.I do not hear a name.
From dust spirals and moistened clay,
phonetics must form to spell your who.

On earth no name is true;
No crust,no dust has yet traversed this place
that aims in precise sounds to cull
the harmony that frames your you.....

Yet each step you take,faltering, brave and quiet,
must hush into such perfect whispered song,
that heavenly fingers coil to strum along..

Then angels glad in unison to thrall
in chordal choir ethereal rise
will sing your name to star the skies

but only when you are gone...
