Indian Summer

If you could trace upon my heart with a piece of coal
Would my imitation capture that which makes me real
A transparent visage only outlining the life I’ve shown
Marked as beautiful only as I dry away, fly away.

Masked… Painted…
Drifting away I feel sacred

Death… Awaits me…
Drifting away

Disconnected from my kin and cast down into this earth
Left as a colorful reflection still dreaming of rebirth
Not knowing what lies on the path ahead
Left only to discern that you will love me better dead

Masked… Painted…
Drifting away I feel sacred

Death… Awaits me…
Drifting away

I am taken away by this one....the misterious masks of death..."Left only to discern that you will love me better dead"...your words shook me up, and took my breath away.
