Some days I’m dust…

Wonderings of my soul...

Some days I’m dust

Some days I’m starlight

On those days of darkness

There speaks my frail fabric

And love that lets go

Pages releasing in the wind

Walls of stone shards

But soft sweet is the blackbird

That sings when I’m starlight

Standing by those I love

Sticking together always

Violence holds no answers

It keeps no golden keys

So come weave a world with me…

simply,exquisitely,masterfully all your peace and love.....your words always leave me skipping down yellow brick roads and/or paths with silly rabbits looking for my inner peace. You make me wanna be a better person and poet and I am so grateful for the push:)

Dear, dear poet.. I am.. speechless... thank you.. thank you so much for always looking into my words.. and looking beyond them as well. May you find the white rabbit at a banquet made just for you. :)

We all have our days of starlight & also those of darkness. Just gotta push through each day and not make things too hard for ourselves. As my dad's motto for life: "Keep it simple, stupid."

[An owl on the moon]

That makes me smile. Yes, we get a mix of the good and bad, like the weather that comes and goes. Let's cling to the good, and let go the bad. :)

You sing out my soul in this one Craig...exactly somedays. I love how you craft an enchanting image of the days of dust and nights of magical starlight that can represent our spirits. Lovely words as always, and beautiful image that you have chosen to accompany your write. You have a romantic eye for beauty in art.

Thank you so much, precious friend! We discover ourselves even more when we share our souls... when we seek those who ignite us... who accept us.. who desire for us to become starlight... And sometimes... in a world gone mad... the universe lends someone the key to our barred gates... and they enter.. and all is well. :)

[Ghost of Jupiter]

Yes, I agree, we need to seek those who make us become better people, who inspire us to be the starlight...not the dust. Very well put. Oh and yeah...someday the key holder will appear, but as for you dearest friend... I smile brighter for the knowledge that...all is well :D

we start as dust and go back to it when we die...sometimes our emotional makeup is similar...starlight when we feel loved, when we shine...and dust when we are left in the dust.

such a nicely penned poem...the imagery captured me.

[An owl on the moon]

Your thoughts shared always see so deeply into my words, jacob. Thank you, my friend!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Craig, you touch something in me every time I read you...every single time...it's unreal.

My best,
Kelly
