Ashes to Ashes

Timely days

to mark away the

fears and jeers of

all we fail to be.

Instead to see

renewal strong,

with purpose

long-supposed

to glory Him

who calls.

Decreeing

falls forgotten;

freedom follows.

Path lays joined;

living what was

made to be at

Eden's dawn.

No pawn, but

child of God.

Prod of conscience,

pricked desire

for greater than

what earth lays bare.

Dare, in dying,

yet to live;

give away your

gifts as they were

given...

free...

to be...

brightest by

the light of

Morning Star.
