la vie.

inconsequential;
a droplet in the sea,
a particle in the solution,
a pebble in the sand.

worthless,
to the general populace.

unknown, uncared for,
except by a select few.

yet, they are swept away,
without a trace,
without remorse,
lingering only in memories.
lost in the depths of human thought.

the hopes of a dreamer
flicker in outer space,
like stars.

their luminescent glow,
hazy and unfocused,
dissipate into nothingness,
as dreams were crushed by reality.
