An Ash Wednesday
The dust that makes you
was given life, your life,
a solid thing of grace.
No longer a wispy concept,
forever a truth
to cling to, even in doubt.
We lead messy lives, day to day
leaving our traces
as one broken and scarred.
But one day that messiness
becomes a beautiful reminder -
the dust and ash of a cross.
If it sinks into our souls
we know how deep His love is
in the small scale we understand.
It is a deeper mystery, such love.
We can merely dabble at corners
and let in the sweeping ocean of love.
