Dust to Fire

I slip into the morning light Catching the wave of the dew soaked breeze Giving up the fantastic fight Choking on the earthbound wheeze My friends all wait beyond the gate I see them when I squint my eyes A color brighter than the fate that made me always question why This body just a vessel sent from God for us to learn; our skin and bones are here to rent, eventually we all will burn Ashes to dust, dust to fire I lift my spirit from earthly bounds I will no longer mire in the clock that never wound Time is the illusion and my body the effect My spirit here eternal and my shelter wrecked

Dear Wendy, What a wonderful read and yes God is in control and not us. I really loved these lines: Time is the illusion and my body the effect My spirit here eternal and my shelter wrecked. Well Inked! - Blessings, My Dear friend, Daniel
