Coral
Cameron Wood 2006 (United States)
Marine hues fade, life gasps, coral weeps,
Ebbing beauty, whispering farewell, in mournful depths,
Silent cries echo, fragile colors scatter,
In the shadows, a requiem for the ailing reef,
Time’s cruel embrace, a fading masterpiece,
Sands of time claim, nature’s lament unheard,
Dying symphony, where once danced vibrant life.
