Ash Wednesday

Blue sky day for ashes burnt to grey,
contrast today to the vastness of what's past.

"Ashes to ashes" is what we say,
placing ourselves from first to last.

"Dust to dust" lays out our trav'ling way,
a lengthy dirt road where many have passed.

An inn awaits where that grime's washed away.
