To Dust A slice of sunlight pierced the stillness of the morning air And highlighted the particles of dust that floated there They mesmerized my waking eyes, still caught up in a dream And there I lay just gazing at the dust within a beam From dust I came and to that very dust I will return Before I go I still have many lessons to be learned But please, dear God, when I am gone, attend to every one But put my little bits of dust within a beam of sun Elizabeth Santos |

Liz... this is just so... words fail me here, so I will just have to say that Marge said it best "simplistically lovely" and "earnestly written"  ~ hugs from a chipmunk caught in your beam of dustLyra |

And I shall be the speckle that is floating by your side together for eternity, in dust two friends reside. I pass this way but once so I hope to meet you. |

Liz Sometimes the simple act of looking brings forth the most remarkable poetry about a simple thing usually taken for granted. You have done that. |

An exercise I've often done myself. Okay, does that say I don't dust often enough? This is a lovely poem. I enjoyed the read and the picture it placed within my mind. In truth, what defines us is our poetry. |
