One Hope Present

Flesh that parts quiet along the knife blade
Lyrics that resonate, ring alive, fade
Spirals of chlorophyll cover, defy
While I am living, this hope cannot die

Edges of pain that have shrieked in my mind
Trembling despair nearly batters me blind
Things left behind are more precious than breath
While I can speak, I will not yield to death

Watching the light for a chance to reprieve
It will all funnel to what I believe
Time will bring healing, with scars it must give
While I am dreaming, my dream will still live
