I Watched U

I watched U Descend from the sky Pink and Blue Which am I? I watched U Descend from the night Midnight blue One of two I watched U Jade and topaz hues Naming who Winter Blooms I watched U Adorned in lace Golden wings Angel face Cherubs came Painted on my face Braided my hair Gave me grace I watched U Descend from the sky Pink and Blue Which am I? I watched U Suddenly the clouds opened up The storm was over And everything was supposed to go back to normal But I don't think anyone was ever the same after that day I think we carry a piece of it with us Change happens all of the time and it won't stop ever My mother told me that the days are long but the years are short And I find that to be true And I think I'm in love with the manic, inconsistent, unstable, And sometimes dreary nature of the world that has met us Right here and now It's a world that's ready to take me in It'll take you in, too
