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
