Dust floats in morning sun  
A thousand worlds in only one  

You’re the shimmer in the air  
Something soft, just barely there  
A breath between my cup and hand  
The feeling I don’t understand  
I never touched your skin  
But I know where you’ve been  
Dust on the sunbeam, golden slow  
You don’t need a place to go  
You shine where silence stays  
In half-remembered days  
No need to be complete  
You’re the warmth I quietly meet  
You land on books I’ve never read  
Trace the words I never said  
You fall and rise, like thought  
A moment never caught  
You don’t belong to time  
You float outside the rhyme  
Dust on the sunbeam, golden slow  
You don’t need a place to go  
You shine where silence stays  
In half-remembered days  
Stay, then fade, no need to be  
You’re already part of me
