Touch me not!

The leaf says
Touch me not!
I am bashful, so shy
Cringing from your touch
Frightened, I shrink
Let me fold my fingers
Pretend I am dead
Close my eyes
I'd rather not see
I am the head
The rational mind
My world, my home
Touch me not, please!

The flower says
Come touch me!
Come love me!
Afraid? not I
For I am the heart
Daring, full of love
Treasure of beauty
Peace profound
Come melt in me
Drink my nectar of bliss
I am the mirror
Come see your real self
Plumb my silent depths
And live, live forever!
