A Simile

Tears are like dust.
Settling until the gentlest breeze stirs -
Making me sick.
It doesn't take much these days. 

Close the windows.
Lock the doors.
Don't let the chaos in. 
Too tired to clean up the mess.

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to PS. Meanwhile, I welcome you with God's love, expressed in John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
