Stars and Dust

Stars and Dust

breath, passing between
souls, adjacent that make
drifting clouds allure
stars and dust fill
lungs as if a balloon.

shimmers, hanging above
stars shine, light that blinds
lost in a daze, dusts of haze
stumbling for, heart's lure.

worn shoes lie, soles beat
every day, I walk on these feet
trust them to carry me,
guide me into the world I meet.

foot's gone numb, limp
stars falling, fallen at feet
dust clearing, in a haze
where we meet.

gone are words
gone is the world
alone, we stand
inside a daze
this haze that lines
walls where we gaze.
