Ink & Ashes
Ink that can not be washed away
Ashes by wind blown away
Ink tells the story, my story true
Ashes scattered, can not undo
Ink on skin or a feathered pen
Ashes residue from what’s within
Ink still drying on the paper
Ashes still flying until later
Ink used to declare words anew
Ashes used to wrongs undo
Ink seen as a sign of ungodly strength
Ashes seen as a sign of beauty’s length
Ink and ashes an unlikely pair
Ashes inked unknowingly aware
