The World Mourned

The birds sung their saddest verses, As the clouds cried in silver tears. The horizon beckoned for the sun, But the sun failed to appear. The breeze hummed in sadness, As the wheat rattled in despair. The oceans surged their requiems, As tearful mist filled the air. The forest cried in mourning, As the mountains wiped their brow. The rivers recited their eulogy, As the trees folded their boughs. The thunder groaned in madness, As melancholic hues painted the sky. The world felt my sorrow, When our friendship died.
