Touch me gently
Love me kindly
Hold me tenderly

Listen to the lovesong of my winter
Hear the trickle of my fingertips
Ripple through the rising fires
Steady, firm and forbidden

Come, beat on my drum
O for the mercies of God!
Drench my skin with sounds
Of jungle screams soft and sweet

Come, dance with me
Kiss me once, kiss me tender
Taste the burning sunshine
Sway the trembling mountains

Come, worship with me
At the place where I walk on water
And dance with the waves at dawn
Rise with me, breath

O joy
Fall with me
Fly with me
 
Touch
