Forces of Nature

Tell the tale O' wind that passed her by
Did she embrace you as you wrapped her in yours?
Don't scatter your memory of her into every drift
Gather them all and bring them to me
That I might know her as you have

Tell the tale o' fire that she glanced into
Do you remember the colour of her eyes?
Die not, but keep on burning
Let me reach her soul through your undying flames
That I might understand her as you have

Tell the tale O' rain that dripped on her skin
Did she quiver as you slipped into every crevice?
Don't lose her memory in a thousand.
Gather hers alone and rain again on me
That I might feel her touch as you have

Oh! That I can be them all- the wind, fire and rain,
That I might remember every essence of her
In an instant, as I close my eyes,
Let it be like her in my arms, before I am no more.
