ASHES
Ashes
the visible on the way
to becoming the invisible ….
Anne’s remains …. Jack’s cremains ….
being buried in a hard ground cemetery -
or into a marble wall - or kept on a shelf
above a fire place - while down below
a piece of paper is turning to ashes -
along with two logs in a fireplace -
crumbling as we watch all this
in our living room chairs ….
There better be a God after all
these visible things turn to ashes ….
Those words of Jesus, “I am the
resurrection and the life …” I’m relying
on them as I know I too will turn to ash.
