Grounded

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, raised to the air fueled by wind, a fall night occupied by wet leaves... As I became one with the earth...

Raked from the land at man-made hands, tossed in a plastic bag, tied up, carried and loaded, later we were met by flame as all of us alike or not became one from many but only before...

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, laid to rest again so soon but back to life again we go...
