Today I was clearing the ashes from the fireplace and
thought to myself this will be me one day and so I wrote the following senryu:
winter morning
clearing yesterday’s ashes

Not very cheerful you might say, but unavoidable and no harm
to reflect on that reality now and again particularly if it helps us to
prioritize and get the things done that are important.
“We have not here a
lasting city” Hebrews 13: 14
“Everything flows and
nothing abides,
everything gives way and nothing stays fixed.”
everything gives way and nothing stays fixed.”
Heraclitus
Heraclitus (c 540 –
475 BC)
