Dust Comments

I love this...it awakens so many emotions!

Wow. Powerful and almost taunting at the same time as humbling. I really loved this one....

That was so deep, I've never heard of life and death being thought of like that.

Your words are beautifully phrased. A very poetic way to describe death and there after. It made me sad, yet I enjoyed reading it.

JL taking into account i am very very new to the site, i just wanted to say, that this is by far the most powerful poem i have read... x A x

beautiful structure of the poem, the more you read the more you understand it, each line contributes to the whole, it's pretty much a perfect poem. I love the message and the way you have expressed it! Great work! Elya Thorn

There's some very interesting existentialist takes here that place death as the great leveller.

This is powerful, Jon! There is a sense of poetic truth in you. I could somehow relate the idea of being turned to dust to that of 'Elegy written in a country churchyard' by Thomas Gray. He talks about death as a leveller in one's life. This poem also reveals the truth that inspite of all our pretensions and presumptions, the human life is limited and all are going to be the same. You have brought out the inevitability of death here. The refrain has a haunting quality... Well, I have also written a poem called 'Dust', though it is completely different from yours. You could probably read it up sometime...
