Only Moondust Creates Truth

Oh my marred ephemeral. Take me not to scopes and realms of a jarred vision.

A hollow moon has fragmented on contact. There can be no true fantasy without 

A rainbow reality. Caught fast on cracks of a drought not yet cemented.

The amethyst cosmos? Nay. Blossom as the shooting star of nature, already 

Numbered in life’s potentials. The shrouded beauty petals reach not high 

Enough in embittered romance to touch clouds, night and least the galaxy.

And now the moon dust glitters once, recedes, then appears as one thousand 

Dandelions. Standing tall with silly pride and wild, tiger cheveux. But yet

It lives to be destroyed. Shooting stars, in all walks, just simply

Die. 

Author's Note

Shooting Stars are a flower with a short six - eight week life span.

This song seems to resonate with the piece.

Beautiful language. The last few lines are very melancholy. Taken from a certain point of view this poem could be a metaphor for humanity. Of all creations on this earth, which is more prone to self destruction than man?

We live to be destroyed and in all walks, simply die.

Wonderful poem.

Oh I just love this its like a mystical fairy tale and the title is so enchanting in itself with the Only Moondust creates truth. well done with the words, flow, description all and the structure your decided to use goes very well with this as it painted such a lovely picture with words.
