Dust to Dust and Somewhere

Dust to Dust and Somewhere

A Poem by John Carver

Like a plant from a seed is sown it must have died
For the plant to grow from that tiny seed of wheat
Or a caterpillar in a cocoon that dried
Emerges a yellow butterfly it's neat 
Like the pilot of a plane the spirit flies
The body wears out and turns to a pile of rust
Even its pilot dies and its spirit dies
And a body dies but then in the end it's dust
Nobody to fly nobody to live it's gone
With no body left but God to do it once more
And in heaven he gives it a way to be or go on
Brand new and imperishable unlike before
We aren't us in heaven before we know it's there
Invisible invincible but somewhere!
