Just Dust?

Cygnus X-1

Shafts of sunlight fill my bedroom
Brightening the day,banishing gloom.

Specks of mere dust glitter in light,
Almost nothingness,nearly out of sight.

A very thin film coats a golden scale,
Despicable dust,finger writes a trail.

Of such we are made from the earth
Yet, how important,how much we're worth.

The bully may feel you're nothing but dirt,
A useless nobody,he piles on the hurt.

It matters not what colour or hue,
What’s important is that you are you.

A special person, of that you can trust;
You're not a nobody, you're more than just dust!

    'Of such we are made from the earth

    What’s important is that you are you.'
    Amen!
    life-affirmingly exuberant, such a healing read
    in this days of chaos, what a gift
    thank you! for choosing to share, dear poet..
    reminded me of those great lines from
    'A psalm of Life' by Longfellow:
    'Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
    Life is but an empty dream! --
    For the soul is dead that slumbers,
    And things are not what they seem.
    Life is real! Life is earnest!
    And the grave is not its goal;
    Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
    Was not spoken of the soul.'
