Dust dancing,
still, alone, silent,
glittering above,
reflecting below.
A moment of stillness,
when breath is held and
emotion chokes my throat in awe
leaving a feeling like indigestion.
Anything could happen now,
when I can hear the music –
the music that is the wind
that blows the dust from my mood.
We Write Poems suggested we clear out our desktop of all those scraps of odd lines waiting to be used and make them into a poem. I went to my Unfinished Poems file
and concocted this from a few disconnected scribbles with the odd line added.
beautiful 🙂
may the good moods prevail ..

The three stanzas flow so well together that one cannot tell the poem was composed of fragments or leftovers. Old memories can collect dust, can’t they? Very beautiful.

After looking at some of my leftovers, I chose one that’s given me fits for years. I like what you did here, making all the bits and pieces into dust, then having the wind blow them away to change your mood. There is a certain sense of satisfaction in your poem, Viv. Really like that,
