Dust

I reach to touch it

It is so close

I can feel its texture on the tips of my fingers

It is so close

It's presence making itself known

But,as I close my fingers around it,it turns to dust

I search for it everywhere

It seems as though it was never there

However I swear I saw it

I swear I almost touched it

But, none of this matters

Because once again it slid right through my fingers.
