One Last Breath
Despair denies a red sunrise; Hope seeks blue eternal skies.
Life unfolds in somber refrain;
A simple vote will ease our pain.
No sunset on pillow's grace tonight;
Peace exhales uncolored light.
Waves still break on shifting sand;
Walk not backward as we stand.
Let sullen hues caress your sighs,
And faith eternal take your nighs.
I am the love which voids disdain;
Give future's time to sink your pain.
Even after a dark, stormy night;
We have a star to share our fight.
We will rise upon this death;
Let our hearts have one last breath.
