The reef, a rainbow no more

The reef, a rainbow of life.
It can hear your voice, like a stalking seagull.
It sees the swishing and splashing of children.
The wonderful water dances across the coral.
The mix of magical colours,
the reds, blues, and yellows
The fish feel calm and mellow.
But then the coral starts to fade away.
Disintegrating day by day.
What will happen to me?
What will I be?
Will no one remember?
The reef, no longer a rainbow of life,
as it slowly dies.
