Rain

RAIN

Suddenly I am afraid
Of Death
I am afraid
Of dying

Suddenly I hear a sound
Covered in a memory, bright and clear
I am covered
In a memory

I am redeemed
Shamed
Fearful
Facing a mask of death

He stares at me
Tells me to hurry up
Do what needs to be done
The clock is ticking

Shaman dances slowly
Goes crazy
Really crazy
I am really scared

I see the light
I see the day
I am relieved
I am still here

Painted into a golden box
Covered by thoughts of you
Warm against the cool evening breeze
Ready.
