Dust contains tiny bits of life.
___
20 years of dust
It came out of nowhere.
I went to sleep
And it found me
An inch thick and a mile wide
Like a blanket,
But cold
And lonely.
Befriended by dust
And a lonely couch
Lost without a map
Sick without a doctor.
I can’t figure out
Where the dust came from.
Some say it is stardust
To me, it smells like smoke.
Discharge from an explosion
Distant energy hurtling
Volcano dust
Everywhere
Covered in the embers of a fire
That longs to rekindle
Still warm
Coaxing me back to life
The dust whispers
Life is dusty
You are covered in it
It’s in your soul
Dust is in your DNA
It contains tiny bits of life
Stardust
Leftover and ready
The tiny bits of yesterday
Can weigh you down
But know that your worries
Are but a speck of your life
Marriage, kids, job, and life
It’s all found in your dust
You have clouds of it following you
So keep moving.
