Dust in your hands

Ash Wednesday

My spirit faints within me;
my heart within me is desolate.
Psalm 143:4


In your hands
  the dust of the earth became

The dust of which I am made
seeks you
thirsts for the living water of your touch
yearns to be washed clean and formed anew

In your hands
   the caverns of the earth
   the heights of the hills
   the dust of the world and of my heart

In your hands
   my best and my worst self

In your hands of love
