ashes await

ashes await such specimens of survival
soil and spirit mingled by Another

dirt in our wake
as we march together
of earth we are

as we kneel…dust upon dust

a frail finger of ash upon ash

marking me…
a touch felt in my depths

how is it that such as we reside in the heart of Love Itself?

Abraham answered, "Let me take it upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes."
