Anthem of Life
A gentle breath
A swirl of the wind
A hymm
Passed through time
Stirring
Guiding memories
To the front
of my mind
Crunching leaves
Each step
A step closer
To the cliff
Overlooking
Jagged rocks
And volatile waves
A cold
Winter's morning
In Virginia
The last of many
One step
The world dissolves
One step
The rocks make love
To my guts
One step
The step of a coward
One step
One last thought
But suddenly
A hand
A broken cry
And an embrace
Life weeps
Into my shoulder
Life has brown eyes
And curly hair
And a pinkish face
Life
Has come for me
And life sings
An anthem
An anthem of life
To pull me away
from death
