Dust of dreams

sometimes I think 
there’s something eternal 
in the way your heartbeat moves
not loud like thunder
but more like a soft wind 
brushing through the forgotten corners 
of the cosmos
a rhythm older than language
older even than the first sigh 
that split silence from sound  
your chest rises like the tide
and I swear the stars lean in 
just to feel the shift
the dust of dreams
the quiet particles left behind 
by every hope you never spoke aloud
seems to lift as if your pulse 
were the voice of gravity itself
and I want to press my ear 
to that space just above your ribs
not to listen for answers
but for the hush between each beat
the place where the universe
waits to be reminded 
that it is still becoming 
something beautiful

  1. I don’t think I have enough words to describe how beautiful I found this. It just flows and makes the reader part of its world.

  2. I agree so much with the other comments, it hardly leaves me any room, words wise, … and it’s not often I’m lost for words. So in a way, that’s my comment, CC, … so emotive and beautifully done. .💫

  3. Oh my!!! So loved this!! Bellissimo, My Dear, Bellissimo!!!! I loved the soft and gentle feel of your words and they so wonderfully described this experience!

    Especially, loved these lines:
    the dust of dreams
    the quiet particles left behind 
    by every hope you never spoke aloud

  4. The beauty in your heart is always breathtaking and so calming. It’s that type of love that soothes any chaos lurking in the soul. You’re but like that soft wind too… For me it’s unforgotten in the forgotten corners of the cosmos. I appreciate you not more than you know. Because you already know! 💞🌹❤️🙂
