far dust

 

we each leave far dust,

star dust, on each other,

human bumps and scrapes

and knocks,

like asteroids at bounce

 

our dust of origins –

discreet beauty and magic hidden

in tales of fingertips,

embargoed until we bloom

and learn

there is no separation

 

our dust absorbs the imprint

of touch and tell, recollection

through sleep and night,

with or without

the moon’s lamp-light

 

we are, each of us

at-shimmer,

gleaming at our own pace,

the pause and fear and gaps – false prophets,

unable to silence the shine,

of far dust, star dust

I was enchanted by your poem. These lines I so enjoyed reading:-

our dust of origins -

discreet beauty and magic hidden

in tales of fingertips,

embargoed until we bloom

and learn

there is no separation

 

our dust absorbs the imprint

of touch and tell, recollection

through sleep and night,

with or without

the moon's lamp-light

Such an amazing use of metaphor that gave me a smile. smiley

I did enjoy the poem as a whole too.

Thank you for sharing.

Jenny.

We say star dust as our ultimate origin and destination, and I feel that you've captured this perfectly here.
