The dust settles,
No motion to see,
No feeling to feel,
The world is still,

Mid-morning lights,
Falling slowly like snow,
Dust awakens,
With new life,

Mid-day dances,
Swirls and bounces,
Free to fly,
Free to go,

Mid-afternoon,
Faltering out,
Fading down,
Almost dissappearing,

The dust settles,
No motion to see,
No feeling to feel,
The world is still,

I breath the dust,
The dust is me.

we are all dust I believe the dust of stars, really enjoyed the poem,  

The dust settles,
No motion to see,
No feeling to feel,
The world is still,

Sit down and bargain
"Until your tongues are dry If the havoc and the shame continue We'll drown you in our putrefaction" Primo Levi
