Dust to Dust and SomewhereA 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!
