Adore the music

by Sam Roberts

The cold steals the air.
But the warmth of my rotting skin
replaces the elderly, wrecked, grimacing expression
that nature brought to me the day I was born.

And now I’m smiling, nature stealing it back.
Idolize it, you won’t see it very often.
Rake me up with that leaf you touched and kept,
pick me up safely with the music and adore.

I like the contrast between the two stanzas, the first very harsh in its wording, the second much more tender. Nice job Sam.

Excellent Contrast and some powerful metaphor...I really like this one...
