Dust to Dust
I tried to throw pieces of you away,
But the wind blew the pieces of you back,
They stuck to me like gello and remain,
Now I see you about in what we knew,
In doorways and arches you appear still,
Like the shock of a thunderclap in heat,
Everything breaks down and is rebuilt too
The awesome power that took you from me,
Comes alive again not in gentle hills,
Or quiet dells and green secluded lanes,
You were too much for quiet dignity,
Happy joyful speaking shouting singing,
Running walking leaping jumping dancing,
Can never be numbed by eternal sleep
When a stiff wind blows, it is you sprinting,
When a cool breeze flows, I can feel your heart,
When I hear storms, you are warring with God,
When the sun blazes, I can see your smile,
When it rains, that is your sad bitter tears,
When birds chirp and sing, I know you are near,
When my heart stops, I will touch you again
