ASH WEDNESDAY: WITH THE MARK OF DUST
Remind us
with the mark of dust
how quickly all we’ve done
will fade away
Remind us
with the mark of death
how little we can do
to save anything
Remind us
with the mark of destiny
how our beloved mess
is becoming
Remind us
with the mark of daring
how a descent
into the tomb
will change everything
