Ashes to Ashes

Post Author: Rev. Merianna Harrelson

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust –
Homes destroyed
By earthquakes
Now covered in dust.

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust –
A whole year
Of bombings
Now heaps of rumble
Frozen in ice.

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust –
Are our hearts
Frozen in rust?
Too much hurt,
Too much pain
To take in. 

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust –
We have but one life
To live
To love
To hope.

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust –
Open our eyes
Soften our hearts
Move our feet
To action.
