Immortal Dust

Ordinary dust

Gathered on furniture, ledges, in carpets, a child’s name written on an end table.


Layered dust of

a day, a few years, generations

sprinkled with dreams, laughter and tears


Fragments of dusty memories

settle within heart, soul and mind

revived by a flower, an aroma or a brilliant sky.


Ghostly dust of generations ~

invisible layers from families passing through time

traced by fading foot prints and frayed lessons


Star Dust ~

when it is our turn, we each join the dust of ages

sprinkled with dreams, laughter and tears.


“We’re all immortal, as long as our stories are told.”

~ Elizabeth Hunter, The Scribe
