Humanity

Laughter's bright spark,
Tears fall, mirroring the world,
Humanity's fragile face.

Dreams unfurl, fleeting,
Whispers fade, memories drift,
A mind's ephemeral dance.

Hearts ablaze, yearning,
Then shadows darken, passions clash,
Love's fire, hate's cold hand.

Towers rise, reaching,
Then crumble, leaving ruins bare,
Humanity's fragile hold.

Worlds created,
Appreciation's hushed breath,
Knowledge learned, lessons lost.

Roaming, seeking,
Finding home, a journey's end,
Humanity's constant quest.
