Echoes In Ash Poem by Dr Anthony Onoja

Do not seek her where time's winds have swept,
Her footprints vanished, secrets kept.
Nor search the void, where endless eyes,
Reflect no light, no sweet surprise.

Instead, delve deep within your heart's worn space,
Where tainted memories hold her grace.
Listen closely to murmurs low and deep,
Where your soul's echo, her promise keeps.

Life's circle spins, a circus' cruel design,
Trapped in tomorrows, where shadows intertwine.
Today we scatter, like birds in flight,
Hoping for paradise beyond this night.

Growing up leaves scars, a weight of shame,
The burden of eternity, a whispered name.
Yet, someday, we'll dance our final sway,
Not in twilight's gloom, but stars' eternal day.

If you gaze upward, where starlight gleams,
You might rebuild our love in whispered dreams.
But I may journey, to a distant shore,
Lost in tomorrows, forevermore.

So sit in ashes, or darkness deep and vast,
Perhaps my shadow, you'll find at last.
Within the marrow of dust, where stories reside,
For some are born, others are begotten.
