No Thing Poem by John Prophet

Great or
not.
Those who
were once,
are no
more.
Firefly blink.
Deep woods
firefly flash.
Most
unnoticed,
nothing
left behind.
Majesty
and grandeur,
mere dust
in the
breeze.
Self important,
indulgence.
Self important,
nonsense.
Means naught.
Tapestry.
Trappings.
Perfumes.
Vanish
as the
lights
go out.
Mean
nothing.
Less than
nothing.
Merely echos,
reflections
of
unimportance.
Lost in
time.
Ledger closed.
Memories fade.
Nothing
remains.
Nothing
to remember.
Nothing
left to
see.
