Until the Dust Settles

It's all a lie, never truly settling. 
In the stark sun's rays
it floats weightless,
landing of its own accord -
disturbed to drift by
something as simple as a sigh,
then lingering/taunting
in its pseudo innocence. 
No duration of stillness 
could ever appease
memories so easily stirred.

A lie never has innocence, so I am glad you said "in its pseudo innocence". Well penned.
