Lost In the Dust

Such a curios thing this life can be
this life evolves around me
so individual
so piquant defined as personal
but still so very much like you

Still so much of you
in me

Apart from name and place
and the characters of face
we are identical
of form
and corpuscle
in hope
and emotional
such vast bridges span the distance between us

My love is no less than yours
in our sufferings we are equal
and by these truths we are bound indivisible

And we may all perish to the annals of time
we may all reunite in the spirits sublime
and we may all believe what we do, we must
all vanish in the presence
lost in the dust

But a part of me is a part of you
a testimony of love and human truth
in our children's eyes we will someday recognize
each other
