Just One Breath
Just One Breath
Grinding wheels, silenced by midnights rest.
Once more, soft magenta washes over
a heinous planet.
Dreams replace daylights foreboding,
bringing peace, if even for just one breath.
Briefly free, presidents and paupers
imagine rainbows settling the noise below.
All night, the painter reveals
the path through the storm.
All night, the poet saves the truth,
for just one breath,
just
…one breath
