Winged birds swoop from the sky At the edges of light, tame and wild Cecilia watched, I don't know why But she stood...and she smiled The sky was maybe a lilac blue Like the water of a sea A colour remembered fondly, you Stood and watched with me With your friends and with your flowers Falling asleep in meditations Beneath the arriving of showers You held young orchids and carnations Soon I beg for our departure, I cry "Let us leave," I say to you But I know my words do not fly Nor are they a lilac blue And so, I stand beside you, still Underneath a sky, I admit is like no other One day we'll leave, you say we will But for now I sit at the feet of my mother ~.~ The music then plays softly, sweet The notes you say you love Looking up from my grassy seat I listen to the stars above, They're Dancing to a nightly tune Above and behind your shoulder Along with the changing moon Our stay turns one year older With the music and with the night You teach patience to your child None is wrong and all is right When Cecil watched and smiled With the music that's tossed and turned You teach calmness to your daughter All is taught but none is learned With the Washing of waves in water ~.~ All at once the showers arrive But your daydream has not slept The lessons taught are kept alive I promise - In my ***** hands they are kept Where we go and where we went And the time we spend there Now just sit, be content The year will be new and fair

Cecil
Winged birds swoop from the sky At the edges of light, tame and wild Cecilia watched, I don't know why But she stood...and she smiled The sky was maybe a lilac blue Like the water of a sea A colour remembered fondly, you Stood and watched with me With your friends and with your flowers Falling asleep in meditations Beneath the arriving of showers You held young orchids and carnations Soon I beg for our departure, I cry "Let us leave," I say to you But I know my words do not fly Nor are they a lilac blue And so, I stand beside you, still Underneath a sky, I admit is like no other One day we'll leave, you say we will But for now I sit at the feet of my mother ~.~ The music then plays softly, sweet The notes you say you love Looking up from my grassy seat I listen to the stars above, They're Dancing to a nightly tune Above and behind your shoulder Along with the changing moon Our stay turns one year older With the music and with the night You teach patience to your child None is wrong and all is right When Cecil watched and smiled With the music that's tossed and turned You teach calmness to your daughter All is taught but none is learned With the Washing of waves in water ~.~ All at once the showers arrive But your daydream has not slept The lessons taught are kept alive I promise - In my ***** hands they are kept Where we go and where we went And the time we spend there Now just sit, be content The year will be new and fair
Written May 13th, roughly, for my mother's birthday. A first draft. As I read it back, it almost songs like song lyrics at times...
