"Ashes to ashes; dust to dust"?
It seems our lives our filled with lust
When facing the sod
Who cares about God?
Give us a girl with a big bust!...

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust 
Oh but why on earth did I make such a fuss
Kicking and screaming they dragged me to my fate
Upholding my legion I suffered extensive berate
But why isn't chocolate a more feudal must!!...

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
body form returns to earth’s crust,
whilst soul eternal, yet lives on,
soon in another realm reborn,
until each desire’s relinquished
and all ego spawned fears vanquished.

What’d
I miss?
Clue me in!
Deer in headlights…
Asleep at the wheel.
By all means…after you.
Plain as the nose on your face.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust -
November the third  w a s  cliché day!

A devoutly religious man once said to me, "Everything you touch turns to dust when it should be turning into gold!" Afterwards I thought to myself, "Has he really forgotten that it is written, 'Ashes to ashes, dust to dust'?" So now I'm left wondering: was he criticizing me or God?...

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust”
But nobody warned me of this rust

Swirling memories recall times I was robust
Aging brings aches; sometimes I've cussed

Tonics and pills might remove some of the crust
But I can’t even remember what it means to lust“

The end of a life
And the last of a line 
None there to mourn her
But the priest and the pallbearers
(and the crows in the trees)
No tears for her passing
Only rain and howling wind
Cineres cineribus, pulverem pulveri

We all fall, one by one
Time spent, and spent
And we are done

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Lives that we treasured
Passed, as we all must

Treading others, dark to dark
Never caring for the cost
Yet all deeds bear a mark

Sometimes a word, one to one
Passes to another
And finally see, done in done....

I find myself at times in my life,
at a turning point- which way do I go?
and I always returned to the foothills 
Searching for an inkling of a feeling of home
Long after the farm had been foreclosed on
Sad, as I watch the cattle now in the pasture- 
where my Dad and granpas markers and ashes lay
~ashes to ashes dust to dust~...

All the good old things replaced by the shiny new,
But when does shiny new become a has been?
Things of depth and things of worth trashed because you can.
It all looks so good now and you look so smug but time turns,
Shiny new city with sparkling towers will fade,
It's time will run, it's autumn will come,
Then back to skid row, ashes to ashes, dust to dust....

Never to be hurt, by another so called man.
My heart is now shattered, in pieces like glass.
You drug me thru your hell, now it's my turn.
I'll gladly strike a match, and watch your demons burn.
Ashes to ashes dust to dust.
Will be the words I'll scream, at the top of my lungs.
Forever gone, dead as a doornail.
Whatever you call it
Beware your ex fairytale....

Permanent grave
Nestled under a maple Tree
My grave and me
Had a fulfilled life
Gave good advice
Went through numerous circumstances and situations
Received no appreciation
At peace
In Heaven at least
At ease
Don’t mourn nor cry
Don’t even try
This Soul is no more
I have been committed to the ground
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Laid to rest
Forgotten Soul Forever

Ashes to Ashes

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
here goes my goldfish, with one flush.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
here goes my gerbil, with one flush.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
here goes my turtle, with one flush.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
here goes my loved one, with one flush.

Honey, stop him, the cat won’t fit.

Back age of brute creation 'n herbage beholders
Hominoids have stayed for bodiless years 
Jumbled brains on battered shoulders 
With rash of lacking space frontiers
On brief planet lay all the bone souvenirs

For countless, covered bodies in shallow earth tomb 
Whilst' sun winks like the star  
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust gloom
In an overcast front of sky afar
Protected in the bosom of Spirit’s immortal reservoir...

It's a space oddity
for all that this came too
for the man who sold the world
should have sold it all to you

Let's dance, for we are heroes
we know there's life on Mars
you our dear modern love
now dance amongst the stars

You were a rebel, rebel starman
Our world gone through changes
ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Your body, your soul exchanges

We know you're still alive
but where are we now?
Maybe next a china girl?
we'll meet again somehow...

REMEMBERING       9  -  11





People, buildings fell :  ashes  to  ashes, dust  to dust.

Nightmare from hell :  from which we cannot wake.

Righteous might delivers a powerful response as we must.

Remember the three thousand for  their  loss’s sake.
 
Tremble our foes long after Manhattan’s ground stopped its shake.

The pastor whispers ashes to ashes- dust to dust
like a pilot says, there'll be a little turbulence in the bus
but in the throng there's ripples of panic and madness
people spitting up grit with every quivering breath.
Now its a game to see who can hold it together
while beating back the momentum of death...
as the plane rocks back and forth
as the pastor stumbles over the word,
everyone's dusting off a soothing prayer
while looking down into the throat of the earth....
