ashes and
dust
ashes and
dust
ashes and
dust
ashes and
dust
my hope does
not die
it disintegrates
beneath words
and wounds
ancient in
their weight
life is
slipping
eluding my
grasp –
living slips
away
leave me.
speak to me
no more of hope
leave me to
my dust and ashes
for all I
taste now is bitterness
how many
times must I trade my joy for pain?
how much
sorrow can a soul withstand?
ashes and
dust
ashes and
dust
ashes and
dust
ashes and
dust
how long?
where is my
salvation?
