Dust Storm
 
 

 Blowing in the wind

little dots

tear

apart

our lives

grind it together

and made

us miserable

never stops

always blowing...

tears

apart-

our love

our lives

burns

burns for rain

and snow

burns for

our hope

that someday

it

will,

will

stop
 

This is a poem I wrote just after I read Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse (reviewed here)It describes their life in the book, how there is always one more dust storm. If you have not read the book, then this poem doesn't seem as great, so I suggest you do. Back to Poetry Page
