dust heap

So I weep, as though my tears could wash away the dust-heap ashes in my heart


There is beauty in the breaking


[so they tell me]

glory comes from ashes

strength comes from weakness

life comes from death

[so they tell me]


In the dying, I find hope

Around the bend, just out of sight,

Reach out my arms and my fingertips brush against it

And then the gossamer strands are gone
