Life Is Fading

Life is fading, it’s fading away The trees are dying, the sun’s not shining No birds are singing, Their music stopped playing The wind stopped blowing, The river’s not flowing Life is fading, it’s fading away The butterflies don’t fly The hummingbirds don’t hum The grasshoppers don’t hop Life is fading, it’s fading away There are no stars, no moon, no sun There is no light to guide us We must find our way through the dark To find the switch that turns on Life Life is fading, it’s fading away Life is like a flower It’s beautiful and delicate But because of these dark changes It’s wilting, It’s dying Life is fading

Wow, incredibly depressing poem. I don't feel as happy as when I began this very sad poem.
