DUST

From dust we are born
to dust we return
like seeds that grow
only to wither

This life is brief
undefined
fused with the earth
indifferent and bare

The stars do not care
watching from afar
ignoring our light
letting us fall
into night’s embrace

The river of time flows
without aim
carrying us
from a hazy past
to a dim future

At the journey’s end
death the final terminal
brings a silence
that is whole

In silence we find
a peace never sought
bound to the universe
mute and unfeeling

Dust and stars
two eternal beings
forever entwined
yet never understanding
though in calm
