Mind Dust

12 lines · 56 words · 1 min read

Thought is unsettled mind dust, restless in its shimmer, swirling through the dark between selves. When it settles, it becomes feeling— a brief constellation of calm. But feelings, left to drift alone, stir the dust once more— each grain naming itself, calling the others other. And so thought returns, turbulent, tender, a storm inside the stillness.
