Dust

Each step is another journey
Wherever it may lead
The path is set
Gravel grinds beneath my feet
Yellow clouds of dust
Flutter about them
Dancing in the low light of the evening sun
They mimic the scattered fragments
Of my heart & soul
In some way I stand taller
Yet disconnected like the dust
Floating aimlessly
Dancing with the wind
As I watch it slowly settle
& hope my heart will do the same
