Particles of Dust

By Ananda Vrindavan Devi Dasi

If a genius could count them

Those little particles of dust

All across the earth and universe

And then tried to count

The qualities of Sri Krishna

It would not be possible

As the qualities of Krishna

Are never ending

And more numerous

And nicer

Than all the dust

Ever blown around

This dusty, dank

Dangerous and dead

Excuse for life

This material universe

Is or tries to be.
