    About this ebook

    "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
    -Apostle Paul

    I'm publishing this to prove to myself that nothing, not one adversity nor insecurity, has the power to deter me from choosing myself in this lifetime unless I allow it.

    This poetry collection is a testament to the ending of karmic cycles, taking advantage of the hermit moments and trusting the wheel of fortune. Hopefully, by the end of this collection, you will understand why it is so important to heal and take that leap of faith.

    Trailing Stardust contains themes of physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. Discretion is advised.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Trailing Stardust - n. d. prude

      Prelude

      Dear Friend, 

      When thinking of a name for this collection, I refused to take it lightly, so I waited for the perfect title to latch on to me. Like all my projects, I wanted this title to be meaningful.  

      After reading, When They Call You A Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir by Patrisse Cullors & Ashe Bandele, I was introduced to research from Astrophysicist Karel Schrijver and Professor Iris Schrijver regarding humans being made of stardust. This phenomenal research will, indeed, be engraved in my memory forever because it changed my perspective.

      Through Christianity, I was taught that the first human was formed from the dust of the ground, which translated to dirt for me. I felt I had been formed from something disgraceful. Disgraceful enough for us to protect our ashes from it once the breath of life escapes us.

      For a while it bothered me because, I mean... I don’t like dirt. I know no one who’s thrilled about nor cherishes dirt even in my adult life. The negative connotation had left a scar on my confidence. However, after reading how intertwined we really are with the universe we live in, the couple’s research placed a completely different connotation on that scripture for me. It encouraged me to admire God’s creativity more than ever before.

      What a beautiful way to admire one’s self image by acknowledging yourself as a light in this world formed from lights that adorn this world? Knowing that you possess the same admirable energy as the moon and the stars we gaze? Being able to process that you give even seemingly dead things a
