Last Breath


 As dark storms roar, on numb biting floor his fears soar,

masked monsters crawl in painful sprawl of chilling squall

in his abode, winter showed then memories flowed.

Familiar gloom creeps in the room; a hazy fume,

war mistakes, a secret shakes while his courage breaks

a struggling moth, blood red froth staining his white cloth.

An ember glow, his hopes flow striding across snow

lighting a fire, dreams desire to reach higher,

a soothing touch his fingers clutch reviving much

anxieties cease, cells release his soul in peace.
