"Are You?"

Sand.

Are you sand?

Glistening

But

Meant to slip through my fingers

I see

A few grains

Left

In the cracks of my palms

A few grains that were meant to linger

Smoke

Are you smoke?

Visible

But

Untouchable

Dancing

And uncontrollable

Bringing tears to my eyes

Through beauty and by pain

A Star

Are you a star?

Shining and brilliant

Casting your light every night

But

Sailing

Far from my reach

A trillion miles away

Wind

Are you the wind?

Blowing

With an unseen persistent source

With an unknown unpredictable force

But

Uncatchable

Vanishing from my sails
