dust

Like butterflies
Leaving a trail
of coloured crystals,
only in my dreams
can I see you
for all you could be;
Like feathers
floating down
gently glittering
in the warm sun,
like a soft doona
Chrisp and fresh
lightly crunching as
I fall into its hug,
like all the things
I never have time
to feel, or do, thankful
in my imagination
I can still see you,
in my soul
I can still feel
the traces of
soft flutters, hugs, glitter
and coloured crystals
that tear my heart
like grains of sand
in a dust storm
in this wasteland
after your passing.

Like butterflies leaving a trail of coloured crystals only in my dreams can I see you for all you could be
Like feathers floating down gently glittering in the warm sun
Like a soft doona Chrisp and fresh lightly crunching as i fall into its hug
Like all the things I never have time to feel, or do thankful in my imagination I can still see you, in my soul I can still feel the traces of soft flutters, hugs, glitter and coloured crystals that tear my heart like grains of sand in a dust storm in this wasteland after your passing.

I like this poem. Too bad my writing is not that good anymore. Reminds me a bit of the song: "You Always Wanted to Fly" by foreverinmotion due to its theme of a passing of a loved one (family, friend, etc).
