The Death of Me



The Death of Me


Hear me
I'm the howl of wind
the fall of rain
I'm an angel song
dulcet refrain
Hear me
but see me not
You're my Medusa's gaze

See me
I'm the rainbow hues
and black and white
I'm Aurora's dawn
after starlit night
See me
but touch me not
For I will wither away

Touch me
I'm burning ice
like a soothing balm
I'm a silken cloth
I'm Buddha's palm
Touch me
but hold me not
I'm just but grains of sand

Hold me
I'm a mothers warmth
and a brothers arm
I'm a rabbits foot
a lucky charm
Hold me
but love me not
You will be the death of me
