The Fade-Out
August 27, 2021
Why do people end in the middle of their life movies
Why do they never see a hint of resolution
Why their credits fly away so soon
Why do people fade out before they begin
In the middle of their opening lines.
Why do people play on like a background movie
Why are people like lost reels in dusty cupboards
When will come their time to unfurl.

Nice topic and equally beautifully portrayed!!
There are so many early deaths these days. And it seems that nobody lives to see a happy ending that would happen if life was a movie.
