Waiting For the Dust To Settle

Stranger I adore you Because you think I said something worthwhile And your unsolicited uplifting response Was that I strummed a chord inside And made you smile. Such are the curiosities of chance Encounters from afar… As planets and stars collide Among the stars. Though we know not why, When or where We may be When the unforeseen collision occurs Changing the course and destinies Of traveling bodies forever… Still, There’s no denying you and I Were spinning uncontrollably ‘round and ‘round ‘til we both hit solid ground As the pull of gravity brought us both D o w n Into the infinite Azure blue atmosphere Where ideas and words roam free Waiting for the dust to settle On poets like you and me.
