Live The Passing Life Well

Ashes to ashes. A Lenten comment

Live The Passing LIfe Well

There is no place to hide from heat and light
No shelter from the open desert lands of day
From the exposed inquisitor, an esoteric sun
The Son of man saw to that when rising up
Each person starves in isolation at lands end
Oceans stop by islands, little dots, accumulated there
On sand, on dunes, a scorching place for bones
A private ascetically ecclesiastical thing called Lent
Where all things come from ashes to go back again
Leaving remnants of the souls intent
All good things come to and from the desert dry 
A curriculum celebrated to that end remembered

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Interesting statement on creationism set in a flowing free verse with its emphasis on hardship and suffering.
