From the Vault of Dust

Some eons ago two flecks crashed into each other because of the love in their hearts, and the fine and silky dust became coarser and more bulbous. Because of the love every speck of dust has for every other at the foundation, not one of them can decide where that foundation lies, or where it all began. Certain collections of dust gain in collective force and form into monolithic structures, gathering dust around themselves as through static electicity. Dust storms, or time, will reconfigure every structure from one form of the mesmerizing to another, until all the structures are subsumed in a great whirlwind of dust.

  2. My interpretation is that it is about possibilities, personalized, making a wake-up call. It’s a beautiful poem.
