You've built around
We can light a match
And burn it down

And dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust”

“All my life," he said, "I have been strangely, vividly conscious of another region—not far removed from our own world in one sense, yet wholly different in kind—where great things go on unceasingly, where immense and terrible personalities hurry by, intent on vast purposes compared to which earthly affairs, the rise and fall of nations, the destinies of empires, the fate of armies and continents, are all as dust in the balance”
― Algernon Blackwood, The Willows

into some other form of existence.”

“The Path We Must Walk by Stewart Stafford

From dust, we are conjured,
And, to black hole dust, return,
Greater than parts that made us,
From first breath to a cremation urn.

O rake the ashen cinders over,
With smiling teardrops past,
A speck of dust, every echo,
In an inner eye, fading fast.

The cheerful moon, light in darkness,
A hint of blazing celestial glory,
Thawing all terrestrial tension,
Life's character, a remembrance story.

From fleshly body to a child of light,
Weather kissing an empty grave,
Wilting flowers nod to obsolescence,
Sentiment, memory, unharmed to save.
