Ash Wednesday

Ashes of humanity Scattered and lingered in hearts of purity Hallowed and spirited within the psyche of infinity Weaving with man's joy and sorrows Entwined with lattices of honey yellows Drifting in clouds of human form Numeric and linguistic crypts of cuneiform Endearing are thoughts and words, not jive Sprinkled ashes etched on books of archive Doors that opened to human interest All come alive in ashes, blots and dearest Your ash is the strength, honor of the fittest
