Diamond Dust, Devil

Diamond Dust, Devil

On Mars there is only life
It turns forever up
In growing glowing heights 
Dust devils in the diamond light
Roam endlessly on rocks and planes
Lifting seas of sand 
Out of the silent planet
Dust devils take to flight
To foreign lands
Across the universe and cosmic spans
And fall down devil hot
Like diamond dust they cool and settle
As planned they find your heart
And land upon the softest spot


                                                                                                        (Diamond Dust, Devil - SKAT contest)

Hi SKAT! I am very interested in the science and exploration news about Mars. A couple of months before your contest I wrote a poem about the dust devils on Mars. It went off in a different direction though. I enjoyed the challenge of doing this one for your contest. Thank you for commenting. Have a good night. Earl
