Fading Earth

February 13, 2014

How many birds will sing atop a lifeless tree?

Will they hum a solemn song?

Will they whisper, will they grieve?

How many waves will slowly sink the shore?

Will the ships that once set sail be lost forevermore?

How fast now it is, that time can seem to run.

How many more hours until the end will finally come?
