because we are made of dust
and i love you
because all it takes is one strong wind
one small puff of air
to lift us
send us spinning off into a million different
directions
while the sunshine through the window
glitters in the silent room
lighting upon the specks of us
floating
whirling in space
because we are made of dust
and i love you
