Today I am sharing a poem I wrote in 2013. It’s called Return to Dust, I have shared this poema few times on the blog for Lent.
“While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.”
Leonardo da Vinci
Return to Dust
I will become earth, return to the dust.
I will become earth, return to the dust.
The earth at least, I can trust.
A wind will come to blow the dust
away from the earth- to soar I must.
I will become earth, return to the dust.
At last I will fly, unseen, to the sky,
carried higher and higher,
beyond the mind’s eye.
At last, I will be truly free
from wounds inflicted bodily,
mentally, emotionally.
Free from the earth, land and sea,
walking on shores of immortality.
forever to live eternally.
At last I will be truly free,
return to the dust-obscurity.
the earth again, I must be
At last I will be truly free.
“The great thing to remember is that though our feelings come and go God’s love for us does not.” C.S. Lewis
