One Final Breath

There's a poem within me

   refusing to be written,

floating midst sandcastles

   & cotton candy whispers,

it rhymes with affection

    and heartfelt reminisces

 of whimsies caught in cloud

   covers' haunting afflictions

'tween withering wildflowers 

   turned to dithering dust 

    on that fatally tainted day...

 give me one final breath

            of sweet poetry
