Ash Wednesday Poem By Avery Smith

Ash Wednesday poem by Avery Smith

[ image description: black backgrounds with light gray borders and light gray text reading: there is something liberating /about being dust. / i ease my clenched fists open / release control over my own life / and let the breath of God / blow me where it will. / if i am stepped on, /it is no humiliation /and maybe the foot that smashes/will carry me down paths / unknown,to worlds/ surprising. / dust has no need for food or drink/ or all that ties down weary bones./dust is not concerned with things /too big for it – / it simply is. / God if i must be dust / let me beyour dust. / let me be/packed into a brick on a lonely woman’s cottage /or built into the child’s mud pie /or let me lie/at the base of a weed /and nourish it with all that i am. / even as dust i am / your beloved;/i am beloved and safeguarded by you. / God i am dust /and i am yours: / shape me as you will. / end id]

My life’s purpose to let LGBTQIA+ people know that they are loved by God. They are not broken. They deserve love, safety, good health, and self-compassion. You are not a sinner just for being who you are. You are a Child of God and that will never change.

But WHERE is my jam God Is Bigger Than The Boogeyman??

reminder that Christ is

Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
