Living On

Death be not proud
For forcing me away
I leave my soul behind
Just the body is astray.
In the verdant world behind
This azure radiant sky,
The golden orb that tells of me
That blazes in the sky.
I run in the winds
I crash in the sea,
I form the coral reefs
I live on in each fighting heart
In every passionate belief.
I strive, I strain, I will not go
I will not leave this earth,
I will live on, I will pulsate
In every fighting breath.
