Dust

dust (the pale arc of reciprocity) Dust… from nothingness, those delicate contours of light on black, particles of a deeper art, the essence of origin brought to life, Dust… awaken distant rebel solitude, that divine rage born of chaos folded flame, silence shattered mute, Dust… demon and angel breath divide, brief memory revelation flash, tracing lust lit fury, arcing beads of light on parted lips, Dust… in darkness clutch, ribbons of air recitation, into glorious declarations of madness, seducing bare skin, whispers undefined, Dust… settling now from distant stars behind and beyond me, I was, I am, I will be, within me, words flow, inferno, locked in dust… eternal.

a powerful read, Mat. Using dust as the 'jumping off point' for your ideas was brilliant! The last 'dust' stanza resonated with me. I genuinely liked it. Job well done. Have a pleasant evening, Sara
