Breaths of Hope
Creativity excites the passions of men
Sound heals the cunning sharpness of grim
Dark as the onyx of stone
Bleak is the lifeless land
The world cries from affliction
Earth sighs from the killing that bloodies the land
Eyes look to their leaders, not knowing where to follow
Confronted with all that is wrong
Weeping from the deceit that blinds
Not seeing the beauty that can rise
Lives will be torn apart
Spirits will be lessoned
And, the thunder will strike with horror
But, at the core
Beings are still the creatures of great
Within the eyes of every man, there is optimism for light
Every land has an essence of dawn
Every nation can calm the terror that reigns
Blood will be shed, and souls will cry
But, beneath the fire of hell
There is a world that can recover
Goodness is still in the hearts of every man
Within ourselves we can mend the broken dreams
The wounds will cut deep
Passions will boil like a volcano
But, those spirited voices can work to bring Peace
Peace that is longed for
Calmness that can comfort the pain
Look upon the sun that rises
Follow the clouds that linger
A brighter day is on the horizon
Allow the flames to fizzle
Let your breath blow away the ashes
Songs of vigor
Breaths of hope
