The Night Sky Dims

The night sky dims
As stars fade
and then die
Never reaching their full potential.
With their last breath
The Earth is slowly drained of its
brilliance.

Their face may have smiled
But it was a mask
Each day growing heavier
With Earth's gravitational pull
Until they could not take it
anymore.

And now I look around me,
and I wonder what went wrong?
Where have all the brave ones gone?
Why do only fools live long?
I am left with too many questions
When a good soul
passes on.
