Dust

And at the end of it all
When the dust finally settles
I will make you rise again
As you dance among the stars
And slide down in that morning light
Falling about in a beautiful cascade
On strips of golden silence
Like a melody, enchanting
As the wind takes you on flight
I will hold you in the middle of the sky
As you climb into a warm bed 
Of soft wispy clouds, in memories
Now in shades of grey and brown
With rain I will make you cascade down 
And pin you to the ground
Your dust, and the earth is your crown 
It is here that you were born and found!
