Afraid of Dust - October 31, 2011




Afraid of Dust

If I told you I am afraid of dust
that catches in places
where I am tired
Would you still find me 
so amazing and 
fun?
If I said what I think 
to those 
who have ears to hear
When I looked into your eyes
Would I still be 
the one?

If the song I sing tonight is not 
a soothing lullaby in an upside moon
Will you still love me
and the melody I create?
Because no matter how my song plays; 
we can still move on
To all those bright clouds
We anticipate

If I struggled to find words 
that washed 
over your skin like silk
That lingered dreamily in the light 
of your morning
Would you still hear the same sweet voice
when I am tired
and afraid of dust that catches
in places
On the words 
I am
forming?

  1. Of course, true friendship is never predicated on perfection or fickle feelings which are all too transient...dust (reality) is the great equalizer :) Very nice, Neva!

  6. dust that catches on the words... carefully piled up in archives.
    Give life to the words, make them dance in our ears.
    We listen better than we read.
