Ashes?

+

Ashes Seem So Final.

Barns burned down

Bodies laid to rest

Dust to dust

Death's denoument...

But crucifixions are conduits,

Calling cards only

 of Impending Resurrection

Imminent Rebirth...

The Ocean's Ebb is not its end

The Tide returns

Again

and

Again...

After the Interlude...

Ashes,

Sorrows Sown

Do not have the last word

What has been burned down

lays lovely ground,

and will,
in the end

Be Bartered

for

Beauty

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, for He has anointed Me,

to give Beauty for Ashes..."

-Isaiah 61:3
