I'm a bit disappointed in myself that I didn't notice the form of this one properly the first time around, it's quite unusual to have refraining words at the start of a stanza, but I think that approach helped to disguise the form somewhat. The ending is desperately emotive, and I still can't escape the idea of this being an allegory or extended metaphor for the planet as a whole.
Congratulations on the spotlight!

Thank you all :) That's what it was supposed to be like everhopeful. That something can be created from nothing but is fragile and won't last long so it needs to be enjoyed while it lasts.

The personification of a 'Dust Spinner' was unique. A speck of dust becomes a part of a larger entity and enjoys the thrill of the experience, but eventually the force or wind that made this possible dies down and the speck of dust realizes that the time of that event of being a 'Dust Spinner' is over. Thank you for sharing!
Cycle of life, dust to dust, or before you take off in that direction, will the experience be worth the ride?
