dust....

it floats up,
it flies down,
it drills through a rock,
it swims in the water.

sometimes it's old,
and suprises me today,
sometimes it's new,
and provides a genuine smile.

sometime's it wakes up early,
just to say hi.
sometimes it forgets,
just to show you it cares..

sometimes it slides,
changing shape and size,
sometimes it accumulates,
building castles....

at night it can shine,
creating stars out of thin air...

thanks to all the tiny pieces
of dust that make up my shiny
star-lit sky on this lovely
cinco de mayo*...
