Strip me of my wealth, I don’t have any Strip me of my power, of endless desire Strip me till I am naked Strip me till all I have to offer is my body and my heart My heart doesn’t belong here I am a being of the snowy lands Where winter reigns and we bow to the fog Where the biggest enemy are the mountains clad in white Tiny white petals Soft petals, fragrant petals These petals touch my skin And leave me thinking of them They tiptoe as quietly as they came Taking with them all I treasure, all I hate And just as I watch them leave from a distance My memories fade away The colour is fading from my hands The vibrant, bright, shiny colours Of the painting I made last week It is time to make a new one I leave all my clothes, my money, my strength My outer covering, my desires, my fires Today I am naked Today I am just body and heart
