Ashes in the wind

Ashes in the wind

A Poem by Gerry Legister
"

Ashes scattered in the wind helps us to remember the funerals of our loved ones

"

The wound will leave your heart 
Lost in the shadows again, 
Ashes in the wind; tearing it apart 
Death comes with so much pain.

Alone in tears many doubts and fears, 
Calling clouds aching in the atmosphere. 
Awakened mind suppresses by snares 
Waiting with a chilling nightmare. 

In the wind calling your name 
A flame running away from sunshine 
Join progenitors to leave a sad re-frame 
When there is no more time.

Your stars fade from this realm, 
And surrounds you with detach matters, 
Inside your heart, burns the lowest flame 
Stricken with the awful cries.

When you are looking out in the rain 
There is another reflection of you
Indivisible image looking deeper within 
For the courage to renew. 

A balm to heal Ashes in the wind 
The oil of myrrh with beauty and fragrance, 
Anoint friends ready for heaven to find, 
Beatitudes by prayers and penance.
