Breathe in, Breathe out, Repeat

Soldier on with your shield of gold
Wondering eyes turn toward the sun
As the burning consumes from within
Sparks and flashes of light and love
Taking over a soul once barren
This shimmering madness beckons
Summer storms the gates of winter
When morning breaks free of night
Deeply spreading through the veins
Indescribable warmth, melting away
Our breath can be seen for miles
Signs of life, of moving forward
Forgiving this not so distant past
But never forgetting what has been
Comfort, meaningless without pain
Sunlight, tiresome if no darkness
Smile, pallid apart from sadness
So soldier on with your shield of gold
Carry on, with grace and light
Open the windows of your soul
But hold tight your memories
Of cold, dark, crushing winter
So this sparkling, gilded dream
Forever holds it's peace and truth

Breathe in
Breathe out
Repeat
