I sat with you until the sun
We watched it rise
I saw the crystals begin to form and fall
From bottle green skies
I was never sure just what you tried to say with them
They contributed to my own.
Birds, silent angels down below us
Sleeping on glass currents, made by the air
We watched them disappear, then return
They reminded us in our task
of forgetting time and all we knew
But their shadows, made from something we could not understand
Lingered still.
Long ago they told a story,
of how you and I, we came to be
and after it was told, we could never go back
to how things were before.
