Listen to poem:

The Cenotaphs Inscription
David J Walker 
 
And when you find your path
To heaven 
Looking back is not an option
Navigation flowing through 
The heart 

Reason set apart 
from the gross 
Realities of the earth as the domain 
Of the second son of God 

Yet
 here we trod
            And there we trod 
As angels of lassitude
Hoping we are hovering 

            Believing if we touch the vulgar ground
We are grounded

Bury my heart in the clouds
The rest may be left beneath
The inscription on the cenotaph 
Forgotten in the round

Oh, wow. A divine message, David. To see life as Heaven on earth, to repel evil and untoward action. I found your poem beautifully written. 'Navigation flowing' introduces us to your superb freeing sentiment..
