Candle wax melting.
Ash Burning.
Cinders from the fire place cooling.
Lights blinking out.
Electricity down.
Batteries running out of power.
Paint canisters squeezed out.
Pencil lead run down.
Dust blowing in the wind.
Flowers wilting.
Smoke clearing.
Machines slowly shutting down.
Rivers drying out.
Teddy Bears with their stitching undone.
A car fading slowly in the distance.
A light house going dark.
A music box going silent.
A whispering voice petering out.
Chalk drawings being washed from the ground.
A Great ship sinking.
A train left to rust in a train grave yard.
Closing eye's.
A group fading toward the horizon...heading home.
Fact of life: We were born to die.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
