Drying Lagoon

Water fades away so slow Sun beats down with heavy glow Voices whisper as they flow Drying lagoon our hearts below Fish are gone the birds have flown Cracked earth cries an ancient tone Once a place where love was shown Now a desert all alone Drying lagoon where have you gone Once alive now you are withdrawn Every memory turns to dawn Drying lagoon the days go on Lush green land now brittle brown Wind just dances all around Life once thrived now makes no sound Drying lagoon lost and found Mirage of what used to be Reflections fade can't you see Nature's way it took its plea Drying lagoon sets us free Tears we shed to fill your bed Nature's grasp not easily spread Hope is what we softly thread Drying lagoon where dreams were fed
