Poetry Leaves #2 - "I Wrote My Name in Dust"


"I Wrote My Name in Dust"
by S. F.

I wrote my name in dust.
Such will happen when you try to hide
From who you are.
When you turn from the world
Because it can't see.

I wrote my name in dust.
That's what happens when you try coming back
To what you were.
When you can't anymore
Try to hide.

I wrote my name in dust.
It happened when I did my best
To peal away the lies.
When I wanted again to be clean
And be a hero.

I wrote my name in dust.
As I feared what would happen,
Letting the filth cover what I was.
When the world would turn on me
And forget.

I wrote my name in dust.
And let what was destined to happen...happen.
For dust will fall
When the time keeps passing
And dying.

And all will turn to dust.

    1. Thanks, Kara! I actually came up for the title for it while cleaning the house, and the rest of the poem followed a while later. You never know when inspiration will hit you. ;D

Hullo there, friend! I am thrilled you are here. :)
Comments are always such a blessing.
Just remember Colosians 3:23–24: “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; … for ye serve the Lord Christ.”
To God be the Glory!
