NOthing

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Mar 05, 2021 

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.
