Ancestry of Ashes

I wrote the poem 'Ancestry of Ashes' ,while in my finishing year at the University of Belgrade,in 1997,eleven months or so before graduating in 1998.

Ancestry of Ashes

 

 

 

 

When All Things fold up square

Dust falls quicker to thicken its Core:

There' s more Hidden Truth in a Stone

Than in Bricks clinging a wall to uphold.

 

 

Secrets of the World whirl unmoved:unruffled

Mind stir their sparks, the  scattered Lore

To gather into a pile and dig only One

Running Sprinkle at the end of a Crumbling Road.

There' s more Hidden Truth in a Stone

VERY PROFOUND!!! I agree wholeheartedly. I liked this. Thank you for sharing!

Amazing-even if the sybolism meant doesn't mean the same to me as yourself. I took the first part as a statement about the strength in individualism and holding on to your beliefs. I took the second part as kind of a seek and ye shall find because finding it could hold the key to your true happiness.
