Wake up my fallen loves
All is calm in this new realm
For you now dwell in light
Shining on plains of green
It will guide you home
And you will hurt no more

Once you breathed in a world
Breathing the airs of pain
You were not with the many
For the many repelled you
Clouding your minds with lone
And worrying your hearts

Lonesome years of sorrow
Will always reach their end
Death's door is the only line
Separating the alive and dead
Unjust deaths landed you here
Slain by the hands of hate

Do not be afraid my loves
Your time has come at last
Walk across the soft grass
Approach the ceaseless dusk
Embrace the pillow of winds
Your loves are of no end here

The birds will fly without fall
The greens flourish in the light
The waters glisten with blue
Time cannot tide you anymore
Hearts and minds hurt no more
Hate's hunt for you will end here

I will always be here to love you
No matter how quiet I may seem
Unity is our strength everywhere
Taints of division will be no more
In the light before you is the answer
The one that will allow you to rest
This poem is dedicated to all victims of hate crimes. No matter how different we may be, love will unite us together while hate will always divide us. No matter how prevalent evil may be, we must rise above despair and fight with hope.
