Tiny shred of naught
Who knows from whence thou came?
You were once a filament of a mighty garment,
Perhaps even of a King's robe
Yet you were somehow cast adrift into the world
To fare how you would in a world of things greater
No man might know how you came to my closet
And somehow by devices unknown
You found your way to my coat pocket
Where I, by chance, found you.
I took you into my hand,
A wanderer far from your origins
But I cast thee from me as the dust that thou art.
And where you go after
No man may know.
A wanderer on the wind,
A worthless piece of lint.
