ashes dust and i

dust from the past
ashes of the unknown
borne by the wind
from dusk unto dawn

ground up life lessons
from happy to sad
floating in time,
wisdom unclad

covering our vision
fogging up the view
our perception of others,
others perception of you

arising from all quarters
to float everywhere
cast into mindsets
which harden without care

i look to the wind
blowing in the night sky
at life's allusions and delusions
clinging to our mind's eye

dust from the past
ashes of the unknown
borne by the wind
looking for a new home
