“But still, like dust, I’ll rise.” Maya Angelou
Dancing The less used room full of stuff, dry books and papers on a table, curtains drawn even though it is only afternoon and nowhere hot, the sense that this room is always so except for the chink where they meet. There a shaft of piercing light catches my eye, more for the dancing dust on threads of sun a nod to the surrender of life now filling the scene before me, and I get to wondering, one day I too will dance on shafts of golden light.

I never thought that dust had a purpose till I read that it influences the radiative balance of the planet in two different ways, either directly by scattering and absorbing incoming solar radiation, or indirectly by changing the optical properties of clouds, themselves an important player in the climate system, but I still think that we would be better off if it was bever invented.

Yes, the fact that a certain amount of dust is a prerequisite for rain as moisture adheres, amazing.

You will do that dance on shafts of golden light when you return to that stardust of what we’re composed. Your poetry is a dance with words 🙂
